Our take

Obie is transforming how landlords across the US access insurance for their properties. Through its tefch0druiven platform, landlords can easily get instant quotes, connect with the right insurance provider, and secure coverage - all without the hassle of paperwork or complicated processes. The company insurers over $25M in properties across all 50 states, offering a simple and affordable alternative to traditional insurance.

Focusing on small-to-medium-size rental properties, Obie addresses the challenges landlords face with poor pricing and inadequate coverage. By leveraging technology, the company provides customized, industry-best rates and a straightforward online experience.

Now the company plans to evolve further by utilizing its data and client base to potentially become its own insurance carrier. With strong funding to its name, the company is well-positioned for continued growth and to reshape the future of landlord insurance.
