The platform operates across all 50 U.S. states and connects buyers with policies from more than 40 carriers, spanning home, auto, renters, pet, flood, condo, and mobile home insurance. The company was founded in 2016 by Jason Christiansen and David Stasie, both Wharton Business School alumni. The platform uses an analytics engine that processes over one billion data points per customer to identify risk profiles and match buyers with appropriate coverage options. Policies are compared with full fine print transparency -- side-by-side price and coverage details -- and can be bound digitally without agent involvement. Young Alfred launched a home insurance API in fall 2021 to extend these capabilities to third-party partners and integrators. The company does not sell customer data to third parties. Young Alfred raised USD 365K in seed funding in January 2018, followed by a USD 10M Series A in October 2019 led by Gradient Ventures (Google's AI-focused venture fund), with participation from Pear Ventures, ERA Venture, and Newfund Capital. The platform had insured over USD 6 billion in property value prior to its acquisition. Credible Labs acquired Young Alfred in December 2021, integrating the insurance marketplace into Credible's consumer finance platform alongside personal loans, student loans, and mortgages. ## Products & services ### Home Insurance Comparison & Purchase Platform A consumer-facing digital marketplace enabling online comparison and purchase of home insurance from 40+ carriers across all 50 U.S. states. **Key features:** - Multi\-carrier quote comparison with full policy fine print displayed - Analytics engine processing 1B\+ data points per customer risk profile - Digital bind and purchase without agent intermediary - Coverage for home, auto, renters, pet, flood, condo, and mobile home lines *Target users:* Homeowners and renters shopping for personal insurance coverage ### Insurance API A programmatic interface launched in fall 2021 enabling partners and integrators to access Young Alfred's insurance shopping and binding functionality. **Key features:** - Carrier connectivity across 40\+ insurance providers - Quote, compare, and bind capabilities via API - Integration\-ready for financial services platforms *Target users:* Fintech platforms, mortgage lenders, and other consumer finance partners ## Category & focus - Subcategories: Digital Storefront, Quote\-to\-Bind, Embedded Insurance - Insurance verticals: P&C Personal - Target customers: Consumers ## Notable customers - 40\+ insurance carriers across all 50 U\.S\. states - Credible Labs \(parent company \-\- integrated into consumer finance platform\) ## Links - Website: - Directory profile: - Linkedin: - Crunchbase: --- *Last updated: 2026\-05\-18*
