About Root Insurance
Root Insurance was founded in 2015 in Columbus, Ohio, by Alex Timm and Dan Manges, built around a smartphone-based telematics model that scores individual driving behavior — such as braking, turning, and phone use — and prices auto policies using that data rather than traditional rating factors alone. The company went public in 2020 and trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker ROOT. Root is sold primarily direct-to-consumer through its mobile app, with auto coverage available in most U.S. states.
