Greenlight Re Innovations Announces Investment in Short-Term Rental Insurance Startup Safely
18 Octubre 2022 - 3:15PM
Greenlight Re Innovations ("GRI"), part of Greenlight Capital Re,
Ltd. (NASDAQ: GLRE) ("Greenlight Re" or the "Company"), has
announced an investment in SafelyStay, Inc ("Safely").
With the rise of booking platforms such as
Airbnb and Vrbo, the short-term home rental market has grown
rapidly, and homeowners have become more aware of their homes’
revenue-generating potential. However, concerns about the
possibility of property damage and liability exposure have left
many homeowners reluctant to list their properties.
Safely addresses these friction points by
screening each guest, reducing the likelihood that the homeowner
will incur a loss. Safely also embeds commercial insurance
protection directly into each reservation through its partnerships
with property management systems. When a claim is made, the
property manager can easily administer it within Safely’s platform,
which pays nearly all claims within two business days. Safely has
accumulated more than two million nights' worth of data, building a
robust view of risk factors within the short-term rental market and
the broader sharing economy.
Simon Burton, Chief Executive Officer at
Greenlight Re, said, "The significant growth of the short-term
rental market has occurred despite the absence of a suitable
insurance product. Safely has the right product to respond to this
demand and has prioritized customer experience through their
impressive platform.”
Andrew Bate, Founder and Chief Executive Officer
at Safely, said, "We are excited to work with Greenlight Re and
their recently launched Lloyd’s syndicate. Greenlight Re quickly
understood the potential of Safely’s home rental product, and we
look forward to collaborating with them to make our program
world-class.”
