About
Metromile was a San Francisco-based pay-per-mile auto insurance company — acquired by Lemonade, Inc. (NYSE: LMND) in July 2022 for approximately $500 million (about $200 million net of cash) — that pioneered telematics-based usage-based insurance (UBI) in the United States, providing low-mileage drivers with auto insurance priced at a low base rate plus a per-mile fee tracked by the Metromile Pulse device (an OBD-II port dongle that measured mileage and provided vehicle diagnostics). At the time of acquisition, Metromile held insurance licenses in 49 states and had accumulated over 500 million car trip records representing a significant telematics dataset for AI-driven auto insurance modeling. Founded in 2011, Metromile expanded from Oregon to eight US states before the Lemonade acquisition integrated its operations into Lemonade's AI-powered insurance platform under SVP Dan Preston (Metromile's former CEO).
