Buckle Raised $106 Million to Insure Uber Drivers. It Survived by Becoming Insurance's Plumbing.
The Atlanta startup wanted to be the USAA of the gig economy. When the rideshare math refused to cooperate, it traded a consumer dream for a quieter, colder business - renting out its insurance license to other people's ideas.
VOOM Insurance
VOOM Insurance is an insurtech company building usage-based, telematics-driven insurance for underserved mobility segments - motorcycles, drones, e-bikes, light aircraft and gig drivers. Founded in 2016 by Tomer Kashi and Ori Blumenthal, VOOM launched the world's first pay-per-mile motorcycle insurance and, through its SkyWatch division, became the leading digital drone insurance product in North America. The company charges customers based on actual usage rather than flat annual premiums, aiming to make coverage fairer for people whose vehicles sit idle for much of the year.
