Daniel Schreiber, CEO and co-founder of Lemonade, discusses the insurance app's $120 million Series C funding round. Lemonade is planning on expanding globally with the new round of cash.
Schreiber says Lemonade is trying to reinvent insurance. Lemonade wants to make customers happy, not make money by denying claims.
Schreiber explains distrust is endemic in the insurance agency, calling it a "trillion dollar problem." He also touches on Lemonade's decision to stop insuring assault rifles after the Las Vegas massacre in October, saying it was a common sense choice to make.

Navratil began his career with Nestlé in 2001 and has held various roles, including CEO of Nestlé's Nespresso division since 2024.
Kraft Heinz is splitting into two companies a decade after they joined in a massive merger that created one of the biggest food companies on the planet. One of the companies will include brands such as Heinz, Philadelphia cream cheese and Kraft Mac & Cheese. The other will include brands like Oscar Mayer, Kraft Singles and Lunchables. When the company formed in 2015 it wanted to capitalize on its massive scale, but shifting tastes complicated those plans, with households seeking to introduce healthier options at the table. Kraft Heinz's net revenue has fallen every year since 2020.
