September 17, 2019 – Pie Insurance—one of the nation’s leading insurtechs providing workers’ compensation insurance to small businesses—has achieved significant growth in number of team members, online quote tool usage, and written premium six months since its Series B Funding Round.
“The successes that Pie has achieved since our latest round of funding are incredible,” said John Swigart, CEO of Pie Insurance. “At that time, Pie had generated more than $10 million in written premium. Six months later, that number has jumped to more than $30 million. Likewise, our team has grown by 130%, and we have an additional 20 open positions in our Denver and Washington, DC offices. Our rapid growth demonstrates the value Pie brings to the small business community, and we’re continuing to scale to meet the demands of our market.”
