## Overview

Rainwalk is a pet insurance technology platform for insurance carriers, employers, shelters, breeders, and retail partners seeking to offer pet coverage through embedded or white-label channels. Founded in 2018 by Joshua Snead and Tong Wu, the company is headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, and targets the underinsured US pet market, where roughly 4% of an estimated 141 million pets held insurance as of 2022.

The platform delivers coverage through REST APIs and white-label configurations, allowing partners to embed pet insurance at the point of sale -- during adoption, purchase, or enrollment -- without building policy administration infrastructure. Underwriting is handled by Incline Casualty Company and Physicians Mutual Insurance Company. Customers access policy management, claims submission, and virtual veterinary consultations via web portal and native iOS and Android applications.

In April 2024, Rainwalk closed a USD 4M seed round led by ManchesterStory, with participation from Insurtech Gateway, Bridge Investments, Seaplane Ventures, and insurance and reinsurance executives. The company reported USD 1.5M in annual revenue with a team of approximately 14 people and has been expanding its partnerships channel into employer benefits and broker distribution.
