    Kin just closed its largest-ever CAT bond: $335M across four bonds through Hestia Re Ltd. (Series 2026-1), delivering multi-year storm protection for homeowners. This is our fourth CAT bond — and by every measure, its best. “This catastrophe bond reinforces our commitment to protecting policyholders for years to come,” said Angel Conlin, Chief Insurance Officer. “The terms reflect the quality of our risk selection and the trust the market places in our platform.” https://bit.ly/4tP0bjo

  • In September 2024, Hurricane Helene carved a path of devastation through the Southeastern United States. Over a year later, homeowners are still feeling the impact. Hurricane Helene caused an estimated $1.5 billion in property damage in Georgia alone. By the spring of 2025, FEMA had approved over $364 million in emergency grants and more than $26 million in NFIP flood claims — vital funding to help families rebuild their homes and lives. Yet a significant gap remained, forcing many to navigate the path to recovery on their own. The steep cost of Helene changed how many residents view their future in the Peach State. More than 1 in 3 Georgia homeowners say they now think differently about owning a home here — and the growing cost of home insurance plays a major role. We surveyed the state. Swipe below for our findings, and read the full report here: https://bit.ly/4vId28e

  • Oklahoma weather doesn’t pull punches — and homeowners shouldn’t have to scramble for coverage that can handle it. We’re proud to announce that Kin is officially live in the Sooner State. 🌪️ We built Kin for the markets that “traditional” carriers often shy away from. By using a data-driven approach and a direct-to-consumer model, we’re working to bring Oklahomans accurate pricing and resilient coverage — even in the heart of Tornado Alley. From spring hailstorms to the height of tornado season, we’re here to show up when it counts. Go to comments for the link to get a quote ⤵️.

  • Our CEO, Sean Harper, recently joined Unicorn Builders to discuss our explosive growth. He shared Kin’s origin story, got into our business model, and unpacked our marketing strategy.  “I’m 100% sure we have an excellent strategy, and we identified the market opportunity well. That is likely the biggest driver for our success.” Thank you to Brett Stapper for a far-reaching, sharp, and meaningful conversation. Listen to the full episode below.

    Kin Insurance was most recently valued at $2 billion. Sean Harper (Kin Founder & CEO) joined me on Unicorn Builders to unpack the GTM machine behind their explosive growth. We cover: 1) How Sean validated customer demand before raising institutional capital 2) Why Kin models every ad bid like an underwriting decision 3) How they identified which customers were shopping before showing them an ad 4) Why they never ran a brand campaign — $100M in annual spend, all direct response 5) How the Capital One playbook became the blueprint for Kin's entire GTM Full episode linked in the comments.

  • Trust is the product. Everything else is how you earn it. Brett Tighe said it well — insurance is a trust business. That's exactly what we're building at Kin: smarter tools, faster claims, and real people who show up when it matters. Thrilled to have Brett join our board. Welcome. 🏡

    I am very excited to share that I have joined the Board of Directors at Kin! My work centers around trust — financial systems, sustainability, security, and controls. When I look at what the team at Kin is building, I see a powerful parallel. Insurance, at its core, is a trust business. When you’re protecting your most important investments, your home and your car, you need more than just a policy. You need a reliable partner that uses sophisticated technology to be more transparent, reliable, and efficient. Similarly, when financing your home, you need the same level of clarity and certainty to make the best decisions for your financial future. Kin Insurance is modernizing homeowners’ most important financial tools by using AI and data to simplify the experience. I’m looking forward to working with Sean Harper and the entire Kin team to help strengthen that foundation of operational excellence and trust as the company scales. #KinInsurance #InsurTech

  • What does a tightening homeowners insurance market look like in Texas? 📊 We surveyed 1,000 Texas homeowners to better understand how coverage availability is changing. 37% told us it was somewhat or very difficult to find an insurance company willing to cover their home. Additional findings: ▪️Some homeowners report being declined by insurers ▪️Others say only one affordable policy option was available ▪️Nonrenewal notices — when an insurance company decides not to renew a policy at the end of its term — are becoming more common across Texas These findings reflect a broader shift in the Texas homeowners insurance market. As severe weather events — such as hurricanes, hailstorms, and freezes — become more frequent and costly, insurers may adjust their risk exposure, impacting both availability and pricing. At Kin, we’re focused on bringing clarity to these changes so homeowners can better understand their options. 🔗 Link to the full survey results in the comments
