OneDegree has seen monthly revenue rise by fourfold, driven by strong organic growth in direct-to-consumer (D2C) products – including pet, fire, home and medical insurance.
The growing company has also improved its loss ratios by around 40%, it says, which it describes as a clear path to achieving profitability by the end of next year.
In April 2022, the company signed a partnership with Munich Re to launch OneInfinity, a direct insurer for digital assets that mirrors the rising popularity of crypto and NFTs.
OneDegree will use the latest funding to broaden its product offering, expanding into new insurance lines and doubling down on its existing D2C products.
