Lemonade was founded in 2016 when two experienced tech entrepreneurs decided to try their hand in the insurance market. Lemonade began as a way to use fintech to make insurance simpler for customers. The company has gained some popularity and media attention from its use of AI and chatbots used to deliver insurance, rather than brokers. While not yet reviewed by the gold standard in insurance company ratings, A.M. Best, Lemonade has been given a financial stability grade of A (exceptional) from Demotech Inc. and is financed and reinsured by some very large firms, including London-based insurance giant Lloyd’s.
The company specializes in making it extremely simple to insure home and property. Customers of Lemonade Insurance have come to expect the following benefits from their insurance provider:

Simply open the app, navigate to the claims section, and then you’ll have the opportunity to connect to another chat where you’re able to record a video describing the details of the claim. In only a few minutes, your claim will be paid out.
