Our take

Changing insurance providers can be a daunting and overwhelming process. Its a complex and lengthy undertaking, resulting in many people sticking to the same provider, even if it doesn't best suit their needs.

Recognizing the need for a better solution is Trellis, that delivers an API platform for consumers to compare insurance policies side-by-side. It also partners with digital banks and financial institutions to offer new insurance options to their existing customers - a feature which allows it to stand out from the competition.

Trellis has seen exponential growth since founding in 2019, and has secured strong funding from the likes of Amex Ventures. The company is now in a prime position to accelerate its offerings and further innovate the insurance market.
