Lo que hace Jerry

Jerry makes it really easy to save time and money on car expenses. The car ownership super app first launched its AI- and machine-learning-based car insurance compare-and-buy service in 2019. Today, Jerry serves more than 3 million customers as a licensed insurance broker and an authorized auto refinance provider, while also offering free telematics-based driver safety and repair estimator services. The fastest, easiest and only automated way to compare and buy car insurance, Jerry gives you customized quotes from more than 55 insurance carriers in 45 seconds. Customers skip all the long forms and unwanted human interaction while Jerry hunts for better rates and completes the transaction, saving more than $800 per year. In 2022, Jerry launched its auto refinancing marketplace, which can help customers lower their monthly car payments, on average, by $118 dollars. Jerry is scaling its car insurance and auto refinance products and expanding its marketplace into new categories, removing friction from additional car ownership needs. Jerry will be the only app car owners need to manage all their car expenses. Headquartered in Palo Alto, the company has offices in Toronto, and Lockport, NY, and has removed physical location from recruiting restraints to attract talent.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an app that helps car owners save time and money by comparing and buying car insurance automatically. Our AI gathers customized quotes from over 55 insurers in under a minute without tedious forms or human back-and-forth. We've expanded to auto refinancing, helping customers lower monthly payments, and added driver safety and repair estimates. Our goal is to become the one app every car owner needs to manage all their car expenses.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We're based in Palo Alto, CA, and after YC we'll stay there with our headquarters. We also have teams in Toronto and Lockport, NY, but headquarters remain in Palo Alto.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Palo Alto because it's a tech hub where we can hire top talent. Having multiple offices lets us diversify our recruiting beyond physical location constraints.
