US InsurTech deal activity dropped by a quarter YoY in Q1

In Q1 2025, the US InsurTech industry recorded a slight increase in funding despite a notable drop in deal activity.

The sector closed 34 deals, a 24% decrease compared to the 45 deals completed in Q1 2024.

InsurTech companies raised $296m during the quarter, representing a marginal 2% increase from the $290m raised during the same period in 2024.

This contrasting movement between funding and deal volume suggests that while fewer deals are being completed, the average size of funding rounds has increased, pointing to continued investor interest in select opportunities.

California retained top spot with a 38% share of all US deals in Q1 2025

California remained the most active InsurTech state, completing 13 deals (38% share) in Q1 2025, rising from 12 deals (27% share) recorded in Q1 2024.

New York followed closely with 11 deals (32% share), slightly down from 12 deals (27% share) in the previous year.

Texas completed two deals (6% share) in Q1 2025, a decrease from four deals (9% share) in Q1 2024.

Despite the overall fall in deal activity, California and New York strengthened their share of total deal volume, highlighting their growing dominance within the US InsurTech market amidst a broader cooling of the sector.
