14.7.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Cover Genius, the global infrastructure for embedded protection, today announced a USD $100M capital raise, backed by Vista Credit Partners, a subsidiary of Vista Equity Partners and strategic financing partner focused on enterprise software. The raise values the business at USD $1.9 billion, advancing a new chapter for the company.
Cover Genius operates a B2B2C embedded protection platform that connects 200+ partners with 50+ global insurance carriers to protect over 70 million end customers at the point of sale across travel, retail, ticketing and logistics. Unlike traditional insurers, Cover Genius dynamically adapts product design, pricing, and presentation in real time to match each merchant's unique customer journey and geography mix.
“We’ve spent more than a decade building the trust layer the world’s largest digital companies rely on to protect their customers. Today’s raise is about broadening possibilities: moving faster, going deeper into our partnerships, and building the AI capabilities that help people move through every step of their digital journey with certainty,” commented Gus McDonald, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Cover Genius.
Cover Genius will deploy the capital across three priorities. First, deepening enterprise partner relationships through enhanced integration capabilities, which are already improving partner conversion rates. Second, scaling AI capabilities: hyper-personalization engines, agentic distribution of embedded protection, and automated infrastructure for faster claims resolution. Third, investing in platform scalability and selective strategic acquisitions to drive entry into new verticals across an embedded insurance market that Boston Consulting Group projects will grow from $13 billion to over $70 billion in gross written premiums by 2030.
The raise reflects accelerated momentum. In 2025, Cover Genius:
- Grew revenue 50% year-over-year.
- Crossed USD $3+ billion in cumulative gross written sales.
- Extended its reach to 240 million policies, delivered through integrations with many of the world’s leading digital platforms, such as Klarna, Revolut, Priceline, Agoda, Booking.com, Turkish Airlines, and Uber. Also available at Amazon, eBay, Coolblue, Wayfair, Flipkart, Tongcheng Travel, and Shopee, a leading ecommerce shopping platform in Southeast Asia.
- Earned an 'Excellent' rating of 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot for XCover, its claims management platform, across 70,000+ verified consumer reviews worldwide.
“Vista Credit Partners is proud to support innovative enterprise software companies like Cover Genius with flexible capital solutions to further establish market leadership. It has built the infrastructure layer that enables many of the world's leading digital platforms to embed protection seamlessly into their customer experience. The embedded insurance market is large, structural and growing, and Cover Genius has earned its position at the center of it," commented Pete Fisher, Co-Head of Vista Credit Partners, Senior Managing Director, Vista Equity Partners.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as exclusive placement agent on this transaction.

Esri Helps Bring Up-to-Date Road Closure Information to Google Maps and Waze14.7.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Esri has expanded its Community Maps Program, enabling road closure data to be shared with Google Maps and Waze. The Road Closures solution, in Esri's ArcGIS platform, was introduced last year as a way for users to easily share road closure updates directly with popular consumer mapping providers so they can update their maps with this important information. The solution aimed to bridge the gap between government agencies managing timely road updates and the public, who rely on mapping apps for real-time navigation. Over 100 communities around the United States and other countries are actively sharing their road closure information. ArcGIS users can now easily share that same authoritative data with Google Maps and Waze via the Waze for Cities program. "For over a year, we've been working with dozens of our local government users to share their road closure information with our initial consumer mapping partners, Apple Maps and TomTom," said Deane Kensok, chief technology officer for Ar
