TicketGuardian Secures $8M in Series A Funding

TicketGuardian announced an $8m Series A funding round led by American Family Ventures and IA Capital Group; bringing its total funding to date to $13m.

The Newport Beach, CA-based specialty insurance MGA offers insurance products in the live events vertical. With TicketGuardian, attendees can insure their purchased ticket, registration or booking because “as it stands now, most event tickets and registrations are non-refundable and often go to the secondary market for resale.”

Btw, TicketGuardian is a Protecht, inc. company; acting as the tech arm for its wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, FanShield LLC, which includes several insurance products including FanShield, RegShield, TourShield and EventShield.
