Cover Genius has raised $72.69m (A$100m) in a Series C funding round to support expansion of its embedded insurance platform.

The round was led by Sompo Holdings with participation from G Squared and other returning investors.

The firm intends to use the proceeds to expand its international insurance distribution platform and support its partners in e-commerce, property, travel, mobility, auto, B2B and financial services.

Cover Genius counts Booking Holdings, eBay, Wayfair, Intuit, and Shopee among others as its clients.
