Next Insurance, a startup that competes in the small business (SMB) insurance market, announced this morning that it has acquired its first company.
Purchasing Juniper Labs will help the unicorn boost its in-house data science team, and the smaller firm’s predictive analytics technology may be applied across the acquiring company’s portfolio of insurance products.
