NEW YORK, June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Insurance Quantified, a leading commercial P&C underwriting technology provider, today announced it has acquired Groundspeed Analytics, the market leader in ingestion and data solutions for the commercial P&C industry. The combination strengthens Insurance Quantified's market leadership in underwriting technology and furthers its mission to maximize the value of data for commercial P&C insurers.

Eric Kobe, CEO of Groundspeed Analytics, added, "By combining forces, we are able to accelerate delivery of our product roadmap. We are excited about the possibilities this acquisition brings to provide enhanced solutions to our valued customers with strong financial backing to execute on our long-term vision."
