Overview

AKKO is a device insurance platform-as-a-service (PaaS) company that enables businesses to embed comprehensive device protection into their own products and customer journeys. Operating as a B2B2C platform, AKKO manages the full insurance stack -- underwriting partnerships, claims processing, and repair network operations -- while partner organizations maintain customer relationships under their own brand.

Founded in 2018 by Jared Brier and Eric Schneider, AKKO serves a broad range of partner verticals including mobile carriers, MVNOs, OEMs, fintechs, K-12 and higher education institutions, retailers, and employers. The company differentiates itself through rapid partner onboarding (API integrations deployable in under a week), a 48-hour claims resolution standard, and access to a repair network of 3,000+ locations across North America.

In April 2024, AKKO acquired Upsie, an innovator in the consumer device insurance market, cementing its position as a market leader. The company has continued to expand its product suite with the September 2025 launch of EDU Hub, a dedicated device protection platform for schools, and strategic distribution partnerships with 3Eye Technologies (December 2025) and Bark Technologies (May 2025) to extend reach into the education and family safety markets.
