LuckyTruck Raises Seed Extension and Adds Julie Zimmer as CEO
LuckyTruck, the tech-enabled retail insurance agent focused exclusively on trucking, announced today it raised a $2.4m seed extension. Led by Candid Insurance Investors, an angel network of top P&C insurance industry CEO’s, the LuckyTruck seed round brings total funding to $6.5m. Parker Beauchamp of Markd, an insurance-focused venture capital firm, made a significant contribution to the round as well.
“Trucking has become more complex and that requires a higher level of company flexibility,” said Beauchamp. “The modern reality of trucking needs a solution like LuckyTruck. I’m eager to see LuckyTruck bring the space into the future, and I am confident in their vision. LuckyTruck understands the industry’s need to modernize the purchase and management of trucking insurance.”
As a part of the raise, industry titan and former advisor/board member to LuckyTruck, Julie Zimmer, is joining the team as CEO. Julie brings over 30 years of experience in insurance and insurtech, most recently, serving as Head of Insurance at Flexport. Prior, she served as Chief Operations Officer at Embroker and ran HUB International’s middle market team globally.
“I see LuckyTruck at the forefront of the digitization of commercial trucking insurance,” said Zimmer. “The growth of the business under Devin’s leadership has been tremendous – I’m looking forward to building on his mission of taking the friction out of trucking insurance and providing a valuable service to the overall supply chain.”
LuckyTruck has experienced unprecedented growth in 2022, the team has grown from 25 employees in January to 60+ in October. Further, the company has grown to 700+ active customers in just 4 short years. With NPS scores consistently over 70, it’s evident that the LuckyTruck platform is meeting the needs of trucking insurance customers across the country.
With additional funding and Zimmer on board, LuckyTruck is looking forward to advancing its digital insurance and financial solutions for the industry.
