Folsom, CA (PRWEB) May 02, 2017

One, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based software and payments solutions for the insurance industry, today announced that the company raised an over-subscribed $15.5 million financing co-led by American Family Ventures and Centana Growth Partners with participation from existing investors AXA Strategic Ventures and MassMutual Ventures. The new investment comes just months after the company's Series B round, and brings One, Inc.'s financing total to over $52 million.

The capital infusion will allow One, Inc. to meet increasing demand from tier 1 insurance carriers, significantly grow its team, and expand globally. This is a natural progression for One, Inc., which has experienced over 100% annual growth over the last few years.

"Welcoming Centana Growth Partners and American Family Ventures to an already strong investor group has us well positioned to create the first true SaaS based insurance platform that can be deployed without development," said Christopher W. Ewing, President & CEO of One, Inc. "As we move into the execution phase of our business, we are excited to have Centana and American Family as part of our team as both firms have deep expertise in growing SaaS based P&C businesses."

"One, Inc. is re-shaping how major insurance firms can service their customers and roll out new products," said Eric S. Byunn, Partner at Centana Growth Partners, who will join the One, Inc. Board of Directors as part of this financing. "We're excited to join with leading insurance firms in partnering with One, Inc., which we believe is distinct in its purpose, its powerful SaaS technology, and impressive customer base."

"Our investment in One, Inc. aligns with American Family Ventures' commitment to strategic investments in emerging technologies and other solutions that can benefit insurance consumers and generate financial returns. By achieving that dual objective, we create a continuum of customer-driven innovation that helps to differentiate American Family Insurance in the marketplace," said Dan Reed, managing director at American Family Ventures.
