Entrepreneurs Niji Sabharwal and Jenn Knight had it much easier raising funding recently than during their seed round in June 2020. Then, the AgentSync founders had just showed up in Denver – a city where they’d previously only spent a long weekend – with a loaded-up minivan and a new empty house. Knight, the startups’ CTO, was pregnant. “I knocked on neighbors’ doors to get a WiFi password,” says Sabharwal, its CEO.

The husband-and-wife founder duo had a much easier time with AgentSync’s new Series A funding round, a $25 million round that valued the business at $220 million — up 10x from its valuation just eight months ago. This time, the startup, which tracks insurance broker licensing data for agencies and carriers, raised without needing an updated pitch deck.
