The successful raise underscores Buckle's stated goal to reimagine financial services for the gig economy. The capital will help the Company scale its pioneering, full-stack insurance-as-a-service platform as Buckle continues to spearhead innovative financial products for the rising middle class across the U.S.

The Company's core hybrid auto insurance policy for rideshare and delivery drivers uses data from Transportation Network Company (TNC) platforms to underwrite policies. By using rideshare and delivery data instead of credit scores, Buckle's core, hybrid auto insurance policy helps close the gap created by conventional insurance policies that leave gig workers underinsured or with higher premiums.

"This new raise helps validate Buckle's positive momentum across its insurance programs and reinforces our belief in the opportunity for growth the Company faces today," said Marty Young (https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinsyoung/), co-founder and CEO of Buckle. "Through our capital efficient, multi-carrier strategy, we're expanding our digital insurance platform nationwide so that we can offer a range of attractive insurance options to U.S. gig economy workers, many of whom have been considered essential workers throughout the pandemic."

Buckle also acquired and recapitalized three admitted insurance carriers, Gateway Insurance Company, American Service Insurance Company, and American Country Insurance Company (https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210526005113/en/Atlas-Financial-Holdings-Announces-Closing-Of-Sale-of-American-Service-and-American-Country-Insurance-Companies-to-Buckle). Through its multi-carrier insurance platform and strategic MGA partnerships, Buckle expanded insurance products for gig workers to include traditional taxi, limousine, rideshare fleets, and non-standard personal auto.

"The pandemic has shown the essential value that gig workers contribute to the broader economy," said Manny Citron (https://www.linkedin.com/in/emanuel-citron-923467/), managing partner at Volery. "The gig ecosystem is growing rapidly but requires innovative and inclusive financial services to address the needs of this dynamic workforce. We support Buckle's efforts to reimagine insurance, credit and other financial products for this growing, yet underserved market. We are excited to be part of the journey."
