Just Insure

Seed Round in 2020
Just provides auto insurance that is, well, more just. Instead of your rate being set by who you are - your age, zipcode and marital status - your rate is set by how you drive. This means that for the first time, there is a real financial incentive for people to make smart driving decisions. Unsafe driving doesn't lead to the possibility of an accident, it leads to the certainty of paying more on your insurance. For younger drivers, or those who might have been in an accident, or just happen to live in the wrong zipcode, this means better - perhaps dramatically better - rates. Just Auto Insurance launches in Arizona in October 2019.
