The round was led by Oak HC/FT, with participation from Accretive. In conjunction with the funding, Patricia Kemp, general partner at Oak HC/FT, will join Insureon’s Board of Directors.
The company intends to use the funds to increase its technology development and enhance its sales and marketing activities targeting small businesses.
