About Rainbow

Rainbow is a fully digital insurance company focused on small businesses. Founded in early 2022, we have experienced massive growth over the last year—over 3x revenue growth, expanded offerings, and a successful Series A from leading investors in the space.

We develop our own unique insurance products from the ground up, combining innovative solutions with software that automates the process of getting covered and filing claims. In addition, we empower business owners with tools to help them operate with reduced risk.

Our founding team has a proven track record in Insurtech and product development, having built a startup that scaled to 50 employees, served some of the largest insurance companies in the world, and raised over $40M in venture capital.

At Rainbow, we are committed to building a world-class product and engineering culture in the Bay Area. While we trust our team to excel independently, we encourage in-person collaboration a few days per week to foster team building and a strong culture.
