AI for a better insurance experience
Lemonade is an insurance technology company that has been using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning throughout its operations since its inception more than a decade ago. It created its business with a digital infrastructure that underpins everything it does, and management claims that the interconnected parts that communicate give it an edge over incumbents.
Today, all of the insurance companies are moving toward digital and AI, but they also have legacy systems in place are very difficult to simply replace or move into new technology.
The company is attracting loads of new customers who are looking for a better experience, such as digital onboarding and claims without having to speak to an agent, and there has been spectacular growth. In the third quarter, in-force premium (IFP), the average total amount of premiums, increased 34% year over year. Premium per customer increased 9%, and total customers increased 23% to more than 3.5 million.
Management noted that as AI agents start taking over tasks, having one find an insurance policy works in its favor. Customers may tend to consider brand names important, while AI agents will look for the best price and coverage. CEO Daniel Schrieber called it a “potentially transformative shift in insurance distribution.”
The company is also still rolling out, providing a tremendous growth runway for the next few years. Its renters product is now live in every state, and it has launched 25 new product-geography combinations so far in 2026. Its Car product is now live in 14 states, reaching half of the U.S. population.
From a coverage perspective, as it reaches new regions, its growth prospects scale. Each region represents multiple new opportunities from different kinds of policies and bundles. That means even if it doesn’t reach the second half of the population over the next five years, its top line could still double, or more. If IFP growth continues to accelerate and grow at a compound annual growth rate of 35%, for example, IFP would grow from $1.5 billion to $6.7 billion.
