Coverdash, the commercial insurance provider for startups, triples its embedded distribution partners to over 100, prompting CEO Ralph Betesh to navigate a crucial decision.
Betesh faced the choice between pursuing profitability or accelerating growth through venture capital.
Despite not necessarily needing the funding, Coverdash opted to onboard larger partners faster to meet escalating demand.
Since its founding in 2022 by Betesh, David Vainer, and Avery Rubin, Coverdash has revolutionized access to business insurance for small enterprises, e-commerce merchants, and freelancers.
By embedding its insurance tool into platforms like payroll providers and banks, Coverdash streamlines the insurance buying process, offering diverse options and better pricing to end customers.
The recent addition of a management liability product geared towards startups fueled significant growth, including a 30% month-over-month increase in customers.
Resulting in exponential revenue growth, Coverdash secured $13.5 million in Series A funding led by Nyca Partners, with continued support from existing investors.
Reflecting on the decision to raise capital, Betesh remarked, "It all kind of fell into place really quickly... What helped us was the partnerships and what we've been able to put forth in such a short amount of time, as well as our focus on profitability as soon as we can."
