Financial App Albert Raises $4.3M

Los Angeles-based Albert has raised $4.3 million bringing its total funding to date to ~$7 million .

The startup launched its app in Nov. 2016 to offer users a simple way to track their finances. Also, it has an insurance component to it, as it collaborated with GEICO, Progressive and additional insurance brands, to offer users access to coverage.

Spotted both good and bad vibes.

@meetalbert Not okay to start sending text messages when one disables push notifications for your app. Deleting the app. 👎🏻

Bottom Line: fintech meets insurtech.
