VOOM, creators of innovative insurance products for underserved mobility segments, announced $15 million in funding today to expand its usage-based insurance model to additional mobility verticals. The funding round was co-led by JAL Ventures and UP.Partners, with the participation of F2 Capital, Arbor Ventures, Verizon Ventures, and ICON Continuity Fund and brings VOOM’s total funding to $22 million.
Already the category leader for drones with tens of thousands of policies, VOOM launched the world鈥檚 first Per-Mile insurance product for motorcycles in August and is expanding to offer usage-based insurance solutions for light aircraft, leisure vehicles and gig drivers.
VOOM identifies areas of mobility that are underserved by most insurers and rolls out insurance solutions that rely on new sources of data and actual customer usage. This allows the company to offer far fairer rates than traditional insurance companies whose risk models are built on data like homeownership, credit score and zip code.
