Spot will use the proceeds to expand the team, form new partnerships, and boost marketing efforts.

The insurer leverages strategic partnerships with firms and organisations to provide bespoke injury insurance coverage. Its partners’ customers and communities can purchase coverage when they sign up for activities or memberships.

Spot noted that athletes, such as snowboarder Travis Rice, cyclist Ayesha McGowan, mountaineer Adrian Ballinger, skateboarder Monica Torres, and skier Julian Carr are covered by its policies.

Spot co-founder and CEO Matt Randall said: “Monthly premiums on health insurance are much higher than what the average American can afford, so Spot is rethinking insurance and offering a new alternative for today’s consumers while finding ways to help Americans live their lives without going broke.”
