Tribeca Angels and World Insurance Lead $1.2M Strategic Funding for xagent
RESTON, VIRGINIA, August 17, 2018 – xagent, the single-entry market access solution for property and casualty (P&C) agents, announced it has received $1.2 million of investments in the first phase of its still-open Leadership Council financing round. Tribeca Angels, a New York based FinTech investor group, led the round with World Insurance, a full service agency based in Tinton Falls, NJ with annual written premium exceeding $250 million. Twelve leading insurance agencies have now joined the xagent Leadership Council to become both investors and active users of the xagent Exchange.
World Insurance and several other new Leadership Council agencies are now part of the growing xagent community – more than 600 agencies – that have registered for the current Beta release of xagent’s new Universal Submission App.
John McEvoy, Managing Partner of Tribeca Angels, and Phil Nisbet, Partner at World Insurance, were the key architects of this financing.
“xagent will improve the economics of delivering our services across many areas of World’s operations,” said Nisbet. “The opportunity to streamline workflows and reduce the proprietary systems agents have to learn is exciting.” McEvoy added, “By digging down and really automating the steps that slow agents down the most, xagent has jumped the curve on access and ease of use for a big part of the P&C industry.”
“The addition of highly-successful financial industry investors like Phil and John is further validation of our value proposition,” said Bryan Baird, xagent’s CEO, who has built successful wholesaler, MGU, and MGA businesses for over 20 years. “Their experience in building disruptive, fast-growing, high value companies will be invaluable as xagent scales.”
The round is still open for qualified agency principals.
