Vouch, an insurance company trying to change the way business insurance works for the tech industry, informed on January 11, 2023, that it acquired the lending startup Level and its team of engineers.
The lending startup has created a tech-driven underwriting process for early-stage fintech startups. This makes the process of getting financing faster and easier than it used to be.
Sam Hodges, CEO and Co-Founder of Vouch, stated, "Level's unique expertise in building and scaling underwriting systems will bring additional knowledge to our team as we continue to effectively underwrite and support complex insurance policies." He further expressed, "The team at Level demonstrated their ability to solve complex problems in a highly regulated space, and as we got to know them, we discovered many similarities in our vision to build a value-driven company. We're thrilled to bring the Level team on board."
