Our take
The $1.3 trillion insurance industry is a fragmented one, with thousands of insurance carriers working with millions of sales agents across the country, and each state imposing its own constantly-changing licensing regulations. With so many parties and variables, paperwork can be a time-consuming headache. This is the problem that AgentSync has set out to solve.
Created by two former LinkedIn employees, AgentSync provides a platform that gives carriers and agents an easier way to ensure they are ticking the right boxes to be able to work with each other, reducing paperwork time from days to hours.
AgentSync counts companies in the insurance industry such as Lemonade, Hippo, Rippling, and Openly as its clients. The company has been growing rapidly, and has actually shown impressive activity in areas like as strategic acquisitions. Such growth has made securing funding a breeze for AgentSync, and will undoubtedly lead to an expansion of its teams, customers and product offerings in the future.
