Car insurer Hagerty has raised $105 mn from existing strategic investors

Car insurer Hagerty has raised $105 mn from existing strategic investors including State Farm, Markel Group and the Hagerty family by $3 bn valuation.

The funds will help support the company’s growth initiatives focused on serving the car enthusiast community.

This capital raise is comprised of $80 mn of convertible preferred equity, which closed on June 23, as well as a $25 mn commitment of long-term debt financing for Hagerty Reinsurance.

This includes evolving the company’s risk appetite and core product to augment its offerings to current members and reach new members who represent 33 mn enthusiast vehicles in the US which is expected to drive meaningful written premium and operating profit growth over the coming years.

The capital will also allow Hagerty to make ongoing technology investments that should drive operating efficiencies while improving customer facing interactions.

We are pleased to continue to grow our investment in Hagerty and help support their strategic business objectives as we prepare for the upcoming launch of our commercial relationship

Michael Tipsord, State Farm’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
