About Ledger Investing

Ledger Investing is a Y Combinator-backed startup that is transforming the way insurance risk is financed.  Today, Ledger is an online marketplace, focusing on the securitization of insurance.

Our $75 million Series B round of investment funding has set us up for exponential growth.
