Overview
Hippo Holdings Inc. is a publicly traded property and casualty insurance company that operates an integrated home protection platform. Founded in 2015 by Assaf Wand and Eyal Navon, Hippo combines smart home technology, data analytics, and proactive loss prevention to modernize the homeowners insurance experience.
