Root

Root is a car insurance carrier, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science and technology to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers as a result. Our core product is a mobile application that we sell insurance through. We utilize sensors within the phone to track driving performance and then offer a quote priced based off of that driving performance. We're focused on becoming a national insurance carrier and are now live in 22 states. We raised a $180M in VC with our most recent round carrying a $1B valuation with it. We're looking to hire more engineers to join us in building Root.
