InsurTech DataCubes raised its first funding round of $2.5 million just under two years ago and continues on a growth trajectory today. (Hint: more fundraising is planned in the near future.)

The Illinois-based company’s data science platform is designed to help carriers accurately quote commercial insurance policies by asking customers a few simple questions. It uses machine learning, artificial intelligence and data science to automate underwriting and eliminate paperwork.

It’s growth has been all about partnerships. The company announced recently that it has partnered with The Hanover to help the insurer improve the accuracy and speed of its underwriting process. It has many more partnerships under its belt, however, and more to come.
