The round was led by Trevor Burgess, the founder and former CEO of C1 Bank, with participation from existing investor and Neptune CEO Jim Albert. In conjunction with the funding, Trevor Burgess and Jonathan Carlon will join Neptune Flood’s Board of Directors.

The product is available today via digital agencies, MGAs and strategic partnerships with homeowner’s insurance carriers. By summer 2018, Neptune will deploy a direct to consumer platform.
