Completed · High confidence · Last verified 2026-10-17
As catalogued
Full-stack digital renters/homeowners carrier launched 2016 with app-based, bot-driven onboarding and claims, a flat-fee model, and a 'Giveback' of unclaimed premium to charities, marketed as peer-to-peer insurance.
2026 reality
Lemonade operates as a listed full-stack insurer. Q2 2026 (reported 2026-07-29): revenue USD 294.4m (+79% y/y), in-force premium USD 1.43bn (+32%), 3,308,666 customers (+23%), net loss of USD 43.4m; full-year 2026 revenue guided at USD 1,214-1,220m.
Expanded from US renters/homeowners into car, pet and life insurance and into Europe (Germany 2019, Netherlands and France 2020); listed on the NYSE in July 2020; acquired Metromile in 2022 to build its car line. Grew to 3.3m customers and USD 1.43bn in-force premium by mid-2026.
one of the few 2016-vintage full-stack insurtech carriers still independent and scaling in 2026, still unprofitable but with rapidly growing revenue.
Third taxonomy
REVIEW · Verified Q2 2026 figures and guidance against the SEC-filed shareholder letter and Reinsurance News, and the CFO transition via the July 2026 8-K. Corrected the European sequence: Germany (June 2019, AXA reinsurance) was the first non-US market, not the Netherlands; replaced an unverifiable Business Wire URL with FinTech Global.
