Our take
Newfront is an insurance broker offering tech-driven risk management and insurance cover for businesses. It claims to provide fairer premiums using rich datasets to assess risk rather than the more traditional method of risk categories. The insurance industry has been slow to embrace digital innovation, but Newfront is a new insurtech firms aiming to transform the industry.
Spike Lipkin, CEO, was part of the original team at Opendoor and helped guide the start-up to a $3B valuation. At Opendoor, Lipkin experienced first-hand the difficulty of securing business insurance and recognized that the industry would greatly benefit from the use of AI. Newfront's ethos is customer-focused, and it aims to provide a fairer, more accessible experience for businesses.
Newfront merged with ABD Insurance, a B2B insurance provider focusing on employee benefits and financial services programs. Together, they are working to write $2B in premiums annually and occupy a more significant slice of the business insurance market. Funding is being invested into both US expansion and building the modern platform for clients, insurance professionals, and trading partners.
