JERRY

Netfigo Verdict
on Jerry

Jerry is the app that shops for car insurance so you don’t have to. It compares rates from 50+ carriers, switches your policy in minutes, and then monitors for better deals continuously. Art Agrawal raised $192 million on a simple insight: nobody actually enjoys shopping for insurance, so an AI that does it for you is worth a lot. 5 million users agree.

THE ORIGIN STORY

Art Agrawal was tired of the insurance shopping process. Every year, you’re supposed to compare rates from multiple carriers, but nobody actually does because it’s boring and confusing.

He founded Jerry in 2017 to build an AI-powered insurance shopping agent.

The app takes your existing policy information, compares it across 50+ carriers, and shows you cheaper options. One tap to switch.

Jerry then monitors rates continuously and alerts you when a better deal is available.

WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DO

Jerry earns commission from insurance carriers when users purchase policies through the platform. This is the standard insurance broker model, but executed entirely through an app.

The company also earns revenue from refinancing auto loans and selling other financial products.

5+ million users have used Jerry to shop for insurance, making it one of the largest digital insurance marketplaces.

THE PRODUCTS

AI insurance shopping — compares 50+ carriers in seconds. One-tap policy switching.

Continuous rate monitoring and alerts. Auto loan refinancing.

Home and renters insurance shopping.

HOW THEY GREW

Aggressive mobile app marketing and referral programs. Word of mouth from users who saved money.

Expansion from auto insurance into home insurance, auto loan refinancing, and other financial products. The "save money" value prop is inherently shareable.

THE HARD PART

Insurance carriers can change commission structures. The company doesn’t underwrite risk — it’s a marketplace — which means it’s dependent on carrier relationships.

Google and Apple could build competing insurance comparison features into their platforms.
