Our take
Glow is a digital insurance agency that automates the insurance platform for small businesses. The company uses data to ensure that a business is accessing the correct coverage for all its insurance needs at a low cost.
Despite the small business insurance market being worth $100B, it remains underinsured and underserved. Glow matches companies with carriers that best meet their needs and then offers policies that are the best fit at the time, always ensuring that a company’s coverage is up to date.
The company raised funding in 2022 to further develop the insurance platform and expand into more states across the U.S. Its aim is to serve small businesses across more vertical industries.
