Due to the company's success, growth, and additional funding from investors, Policygenius offers much more than just life insurance today. Policygenius' offerings now include renters insurance, homeowners insurance, disability insurance, auto and more. They can even help customers looking to set up wills and trusts.
Policygenius Funding Rounds
Policygenius' initial seed round of funding took place in 2014 for a total of $750k from six investors. This was followed by a $5.3 million Series A funding round in 2015. In 2016, they raised $15 million in funding with a Series B round.
To expand its offerings and support more customers, the company raised a $30 million Series C. This funding round was led by Norwest Venture Partners back in 2017. This brought their funding total to over $51 million. At the tail end of 2019 and start of 2020, they secured a massive $110 Series D round of funding. This was led by KKR.
Then in March 2022, Policygenius raised an additional $125 million with 11 investors including Mass Mutual Ventures, Pacific Life, and Lincoln Financial Group. That brings the total funding for Policygenius over $276 million.
Policygenius has 27 investors, seven of which are key investors including Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Norwest Venture Partners, and Orix Growth Capital. Some of the most recent investors include Mass Mutual and Revolution.
On April 25, 2023, Policygenius agreed to be acquired by fellow digital insurance platform Zinnia, to create a tech-focused platform covering the full insurance process, executives at the companies told Reuters. Unfortunately, the acquisition didn't seem like a highly profitable one for the founders. It seemed more like an acquihire.

You never know just how much you could be overpaying if you don't. My wife discovered that she was vastly overpaying through the help of Policygenius. And thanks to their easy step-by-step process, she was able to compare quotes, apply, and get more life insurance for less money.
Getting life insurance is an act of kindness for those you love the most. It makes me happy knowing that if I die, my family will get an additional income boost beyond the assets I will already be leaving them. They can use the money to pay for any estate taxes, escape from the world until they feel mentally fit to return, or buy time to figure out what to do with the assets.
