Overview

Functional Finance is a SaaS platform purpose-built to automate billing, reconciliation, and money movement for the insurance industry. Founded in 2021 by seasoned insurtech veterans -- including Rashmi Melgiri (co-founder of CoverWallet) and Tony DeGangi (founder of Renew) -- the company addresses the fragmented, manual financial operations that plague MGAs, wholesalers, and carriers.

The platform unifies billing, payment processing, payables management, treasury, reconciliation, and reporting into a single financial operations layer that connects to existing policy administration and accounting systems. A typical deployment takes six weeks, after which customers replace spreadsheet-heavy month-end close processes with automated workflows.

Functional Finance raised a USD 20M Series A in 2023, led by Walkabout Ventures with participation from Munich Re Ventures, New Enterprise Associates, Altai Ventures, Starr Insurance, and advisor Phil Edmundson (founder of Corvus Insurance). Post-Series A, the company reported 2,500% year-over-year growth in premium payment volume processed.
