Jones, the vertical software company leading AI innovation in insurance verification, announced the closing of its $15 million Series B funding round led by NewSpring Growth. The funding round also saw continued participation from major existing investors, including Hetz Ventures, Camber Creek, Khosla Ventures, JLL Spark, DivcoWest Ventures, Rudin Ventures, and Ground Up Ventures.
Launched by Omri Stern and Michael Rudman, Jones helps real estate and construction clients to accelerate the collection of insurance certificates (COIs), endorsements, and policies, verify compliance with precision, and integrate bi-directionally with key ERP systems. And the company has scaled to 25,039 real estate properties and construction projects across over 2.5 billion square feet in the United States.
The funding marks a pivotal moment for Jones as it doubles down on its mission to help clients make smart decisions about insurance risk so they can boost efficiency and mitigate insurance claims. Jones plans to release a suite of AI-powered agents and smart assistants that automate routine tasks, reduce manual workloads, and offer autonomous decision-making. Proprietary data, including insurance logic, risk benchmarks, and millions of verified insurance documents fine-tune the AI Agents. The company also plans to continue expanding software workflows and deepening ERP integrations.
With this funding round, Jones is focused on addressing the ballooning insurance costs in the industry. And the company’s latest release, Insurance Policy Verification, helps clients to flag and interpret exclusionary language in insurance policies to mitigate costly payouts from third-party insurance claims, a problem plaguing the industry that COIs do not solve.
This Series B funding round highlights the company’s success in addressing one of the toughest challenges in the category: scaling an AI-driven software solution in an industry heavily reliant on human-in-the-loop processes. And Jones resolved the manual bottleneck by combining machine learning with human compliance experts, paving the way for unparalleled efficiency and scalability. This milestone signals investors’ confidence in the company’s ability to continue building a category-defining business model.
KEY QUOTES:
“COI and insurance policy verification is a highly manual and error-prone process, making it ripe for disruption through automation. Jones AI solutions enable construction and real estate companies to scale their departments efficiently while mitigating legal and financial risks in today’s highly litigious environment. As compliance becomes more complex and regulatory demands rise, Jones has ample room for continued expansion and represents exactly the type of growth-oriented business we seek for investment.”
– Marc Lederman, General Partner at NewSpring Capital
“The insurance markets have been reeling from economic pressures and are one of the biggest challenges facing real estate and construction, whether it’s from headwinds in origination or the lack of digitization. We’re excited to be part of a cohort of maturing growth-stage AI and data companies that are partnering with the insurance industry to help clients make smarter decisions about insurance risk.”
– Omri Stern, CEO of Jones
