About
Trōv was a San Francisco, California-based on-demand insurance technology company — having raised over $114 million from venture capital investors and strategic partners including Liberty Mutual, Sompo Holdings, Munich Re, and others — that pioneered micro-duration and embedded insurance before its technology assets were acquired by Travelers Insurance Group (NYSE: TRV) in February 2022. Founded in 2012 by CEO Scott Walchek (co-founder of Macromedia and early Baidu investor), Trōv launched in 2016 with the world's first mobile app for on-demand single-item insurance, enabling users to insure individual items (guitars, laptops, cameras) with micro-premiums measured in cents, turning coverage on and off with a swipe for protection lasting as little as seconds. The platform evolved from consumer on-demand insurance into an enterprise embedded insurance API that powered insurance distribution for gig economy platforms, transportation companies, and autonomous vehicle operators — before Travelers acquired its technology assets to enhance Travelers' Personal Insurance digital capabilities.
