Embedded insurance provider Cover Genius has raised US$100 million in new capital from Vista Credit Partners, valuing the company at US$1.9 billion as it looks to expand its AI capabilities, deepen enterprise partnerships and pursue strategic acquisitions.

The funding marks a significant milestone for the insurtech, which has spent more than a decade building infrastructure that enables digital businesses to embed insurance products directly into customer journeys.

Expanding embedded protection globally

Cover Genius operates a B2B2C embedded protection platform that connects more than:

  • 200 enterprise partners
  • 50+ global insurance carriers
  • 70 million end customers

Its platform enables insurance products to be offered at the point of sale across sectors including:

  • Travel
  • E-commerce
  • Ticketing
  • Logistics

Unlike traditional insurers, Cover Genius dynamically adjusts product design, pricing and presentation based on each merchant’s customer journey and geographic footprint.

Funding priorities

The company plans to deploy the new capital across three strategic areas:

Strengthening enterprise partnerships

Cover Genius will invest in enhanced integration capabilities designed to improve implementation and increase insurance conversion rates for enterprise partners.

Scaling AI capabilities

The company intends to expand several AI initiatives, including:

  • Hyper-personalised insurance recommendations
  • Agentic AI for embedded insurance distribution
  • Automated claims infrastructure to accelerate claims handling

Platform expansion and acquisitions

The remaining capital will support platform scalability and selective acquisitions aimed at expanding into additional embedded insurance markets.

The company cited forecasts from Boston Consulting Group projecting the embedded insurance market will grow from US$13 billion today to more than US$70 billion in gross written premiums by 2030.

Strong business momentum

Alongside the funding announcement, Cover Genius highlighted several operational milestones achieved during 2025.

The company reported:

  • 50% year-over-year revenue growth
  • More than US$3 billion in cumulative gross written sales
  • Delivery of over 240 million insurance policies

Its embedded protection platform is integrated with major global digital brands, including:

  • Klarna
  • Revolut
  • Priceline
  • Agoda
  • Booking.com
  • Turkish Airlines
  • Uber
  • Amazon
  • eBay
  • Wayfair
  • Flipkart
  • Shopee

Cover Genius also said its XCover claims platform holds an “Excellent” 4.5 out of 5 Trustpilot rating, based on more than 70,000 verified customer reviews.

Executive commentary

Co-founder and CEO Gus McDonald said the new funding will help the company expand both its technology platform and AI capabilities.

“We’ve spent more than a decade building the trust layer the world’s largest digital companies rely on to protect their customers. Today’s raise is about broadening possibilities: moving faster, going deeper into our partnerships, and building the AI capabilities that help people move through every step of their digital journey with certainty.”

Pete Fisher, Co-Head of Vista Credit Partners and Senior Managing Director at Vista Equity Partners, said Cover Genius has established itself as a core infrastructure provider within the embedded insurance ecosystem.

“The embedded insurance market is large, structural and growing, and Cover Genius has earned its position at the center of it.”

Industry significance

The capital raise underscores continued investor confidence in embedded insurance as one of the fastest-growing segments of the global insurance market.

As insurers increasingly seek to distribute products through digital commerce, travel and financial platforms, infrastructure providers such as Cover Genius are investing heavily in AI to personalise offers, automate claims and improve customer experiences. The latest funding positions the company to accelerate those capabilities while expanding into new verticals and strengthening its role as a global embedded insurance platform.
