\nLandlord-focused insurtech Obie lands $25.5M led by Battery Ventures<\/br>
\n2023-05-17 21:54:45<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

Obie<\/a>, a real estate-focused insurance technology company, has raised $25.5 million in a funding round led by Battery Ventures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the company\u2019s last raise \u2014 <\/span>a $10.4 million Series A<\/span><\/a> \u2014 nearly two years ago, the startup says it has gone from securing insurance for over $3 billion worth of property to $20 billion worth. It has now raised a total of $39 million since its 2017 inception.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obie\u2019s software specifically targets small-to-medium size apartment landlords who own single-family rentals and\/or larger apartment buildings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chicago-based and Y Combinator graduate Obie says its platform stands out because it offers instant quotes (by instant, they mean in about five minutes). The company also claims to save policyholders up to 25-30% compared to other insurance premiums.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the startup declined to share its valuation, COO and co-founder Aaron Letzeiser said Obie \u201cwas able to achieve a significant increase in valuation\u201d from its 2021 Series A round.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur team has pioneered an embeddable solution that seamlessly integrates insurance offerings into our partner\u2019s channels, including any place a real estate investor is buying or managing their investment property online,\u201d said CEO and co-founder Ryan Letzeiser.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obie says it has \u201cthousands of customers\u201d and is now partnered with more than 75 proptech companies to offer insurance, such as Roofstock, Flock Homes, Baselane, Awning and Marketplace Homes. <\/span>It has seen 300% growth in written premium over the past two years, Aaron Letzeiser said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Within the last year, the company has increased its margins by 40%, and is on track to improve another 25% by the end of 2023, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur bread and butter is the 1-4 unit single-family rental market and we offer coverage in all 50 states,\u201d Aaron added. \u201cThere are over 18 million residential real estate investors in the U.S., and more than 90% of them are small \u2018mom and pop\u2019 investors who spend over $60 billion a year on insurance premiums, so there\u2019s plenty of room for Obie to run here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Battery Ventures General Partner Michael Brown believes there are \u201cvery few digital competitors to Obie, as landlord insurance is a nuanced, specialized insurance product.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He wrote via email: \u201cObie\u2019s focus on this market \u2014 and its savvy use of data, proprietary risk-management tools, and embedded industry partnerships \u2014 has allowed it to develop a unique system to generate near-instant, competitive quotes that landlords can access anywhere they\u2019re buying or managing property, such as within their broker\u2019s portal or their own property-management system. We feel Obie is on a path to building a valuable, next-generation, digital landlord-insurance brand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
