ManyPets

ManyPets, originally founded as Bought By Many in 2012 by Steven Mendel and Guy Farley, has established itself as a significant force in the pet insurance industry. Headquartered in London, UK, the company was born out of the founders' observation that the traditional insurance sector was not adequately serving customer needs. Initially, the business model focused on creating groups for individuals with specific insurance requirements, with pet insurance quickly emerging as a prominent area of demand. This led to a strategic pivot in 2017, when the company launched its own dedicated pet insurance products, setting a new course for its future. The company's mission is to make the world a better place for pets and their parents by providing a digital-first, user-friendly insurance experience. This approach is centered on leveraging technology, data, and exceptional customer service to offer policies that are easy to understand and manage.

The company's growth has been marked by significant milestones and international expansion. After establishing a strong presence in the UK, ManyPets launched in Sweden in 2019 and expanded to the United States in 2021, rebranding from Bought By Many to ManyPets globally in 2022 to unify its brand identity. This expansion was fueled by substantial investment, including a Series D funding round in 2021 that valued the business at over $2 billion. ManyPets distinguishes itself by offering innovative policy features, such as coverage for pre-existing conditions (with certain stipulations), no annual payout limits on approved claims, and an optional wellness plan for routine care. Their commitment to a superior customer experience is reflected in numerous awards, including being named Pet Insurance Provider of the Year multiple times. With a global team of over 500 employees, ManyPets continues to innovate, driven by a passion for pet welfare and a commitment to disrupting the insurance market for the benefit of pet owners.
