Our take
Openly has responded to a perceived gap in the market: while consumers are increasingly buying home insurance through independent agents, the products those agents can offer have not kept up with what’s possible, resulting in wasted time, wasted money, and outdated risk underwriting.
Openly's homeowner insurance platform sells exclusively through independent agencies. The platform watches and updates more than 19,000 vendor profiles daily across 19 states and 91 different industries, detecting changes to key business information, privacy documentation, terms of service agreements and public records. This increases transparency of the risk between buyers and suppliers, which sets Openly apart from its competitors in the insurtech market.
It has grown in-force premium by more than 500% year over year and has already achieved double-digit new sales market share in the majority of its states. The company is taking huge steps and recently partnered with Mastercard to integrate Mastercard's RiskRecon cyber risk data into its platform so that organizations can better understand their risk profile. Openly has plans to expand its home insurance product to more states and agencies and to enhance its technology and insurance product.
