Policygenius transforms the insurance journey for consumers by providing a one-stop platform where consumers can compare options from top insurance carriers, get unbiased expert advice, buy policies, and manage their insurance portfolio, in one seamless, integrated experience. Our proprietary technology platform integrates with the leading life, disability, and home & auto insurance carriers and delivers an exceptional digital experience for both consumers and insurance carriers. Since 2014, our content, digital tools, and experts have served as a resource for millions of people on their insurance journey, and we have sold more than $200 billion in coverage. In 2023, Policygenius was acquired by Zinnia, an insurance technology and digital services company.

How we make money
We’re an independent insurance broker, so we get paid a commission by insurance companies for each sale. Insurance commissions are already built into the price of an insurance policy, so you’re not paying any extra for working with us to buy a policy. Our compensation on any particular purchase may vary depending on a number of factors, including the type and size of product, the insurer, and the volume of business we have with an insurer, but we don’t push for or give preference to any one insurer over another because of the commission. We're here to fight for you, not for ourselves.
Our licenses
All insurance brokers are required by law to be licensed in each state they do business. You can find our licenses here.

Our history
In the early 2010s, two McKinsey consultants, Jennifer Fitzgerald and Francois de Lame, realized the insurance industry was stuck in the Stone Age. Their idea: “Could we modernize life insurance online and help people feel good about finding the right coverage?”
In 2014, they launched a startup in New York City called…KnowItOwl. The name didn’t last, but the idea did. By the end of the following year, the rebranded Policygenius had already reached more than 800,000 people looking for the right life insurance.
Since then, we’ve expanded to offer home, auto, disability, renters, and other types of insurance. Today, we’ve helped millions of people find the best financial protection solutions for their needs — and judging from our reviews, we've helped them feel good about it.
