$10M in New Funding to Support Fabric’s Mission

By Adam Erlebacher Jun 19, 2018

We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Bessemer Venture Partners has led a $10 million Series A investment in Fabric, with participation from the global reinsurance giant RGA, existing investors, and Silicon Valley Bank, which provided a credit facility.

We launched Fabric a little over a year ago to help all families achieve financial security. We’re now proud to be serving thousands of families who have purchased insurance coverage through us.

What’s special about Fabric is that everyone here cares deeply about providing a service that is easy to understand, affordable, and hassle-free. The numbers show that we are on the right path. In fact, two in three members who purchased Fabric Instant did so on their very first visit.

We accomplish that ease of use by combining world-class engineering and design with our commitment to help families achieve financial security. And importantly for our members, policies are issued by Vantis Life, an “A+” rated insurer founded in 1942. (How do life insurance ratings agencies work?)

Busy parents deserve better than endless meetings with agents and complicated life insurance products. Fabric is here to change that.

We are just getting started, and with this new round of financing, we are doubling down on our commitment to helping make financial protection easy for new families. If this is your first time visiting us, please have a look around, and if you want to have a real impact on families’ lives, come join us!
