As catalogued
US online insurance marketplace and digital broker combining comparison quoting and licensed advisors, initially for life and disability and later for home, auto, renters and pet insurance.
2026 reality
Policygenius operates under its own brand as part of Zinnia, a KKR-backed life and annuity technology company. In June 2026 it sold its property and casualty book (nearly 30,000 personal lines policies) to Matic Insurance Services to focus on life insurance.
After raising a $125M Series E in March 2022 and cutting 25% of staff in June 2022, Policygenius was acquired by Zinnia (announced April 2023) with the brand retained; in 2026 it exited P&C distribution and refocused on its core life insurance marketplace.
inside a life-and-annuity infrastructure group, the life marketplace fits Zinnia's carrier and distribution network, while the low-margin P&C agency book was non-core.
remains one of the best-known US digital life insurance marketplaces, now backed by Zinnia's carrier relationships rather than venture funding.
