CoverHound, a US-based online automobile insurance comparison and sales platform, has raised $8.2m, according to a regulatory filing seen by news provider Business Journals.
CoverHound started in 2010 and graduated in 2011 from the AngelPad incubator that was started by seven ex-Google employees. CoverHound raised $750,000 from venture capital (VC) firm Blumberg Capital in 2011 before media group Source Interlink Companies became a strategic investor last year.
VC firm led a $4.5m series A round earlier this year, and the company said its other investor was Bullpen Capital.
