Almost two years in the making, we're excited to share the news that today we're launching Jetty in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Georgia, New Jersey and Florida. (And how often do we get excited? Almost never.) Starting now, you can sign up for Renters and Condo/Co-op insurance (PA, IL and GA only) from the world's first insurance company built for the city. Our plans are tailor-made for whatever city life throws at you and include features you won't find at any other insurance company. Like extra Airbnb host protection. And coverage for bedbugs. (Yes, really.) Then there's Jetty Passport, a combo of revolutionary renters services to help you get into the apartment of your dreams without all the hassle. Not a fan of security deposits? Neither are we, which is why we got rid of them with Passport Deposit. And if you need a guarantor, don't call in a favor—call us instead and we'll co-sign your lease with Passport Lease. Just like a rich uncle would. All this and more await you at Jetty.com and, while you're there, if you get bored of insurance, peep our blog full of musings on city life instead. Get Ready to Jetty, Michael Rudoy & Luke Cohler — Jetty Co-Founders

Love the experience, it's quite slick. I am curious though, why not focus on only rental insurance for now (get in every city first)? Why make Jetty Passport, shouldn't that be a separate startup?

@benbowdene Thanks Ben! First, to sell insurance, you need to be approved on a state-by-state basis, and every state works at their pace. So, while we'd love to be in every city, we simply can't bypass this issue. With that being said, we will have a nationwide offering in due time. In terms of Passport, we think it's important that those products are bundled together with our renters product because it helps tenants satisfy 3 unique requirements by most landlords: 1) buy renters insurance, 2) put down an expensive security deposit, and 3) find a guarantor (if you . To the extent that you can achieve all of those with one app, we think the better.

I love this approach to insurance -- you've built a great, straightforward, easy-to-understand product in a zone that is usually quite murky. Kudos. Even more, I love a great startup launch marketing campaign, and yours is A+. The site is super well constructed, the language & navigation is clear, the video crisp, the social accounts useful, and the voice & tone of everything appealing & suitable.

Great idea! Love the fun design and the branding. I'm a fan of app-ifying the different services i use in my life so I can just have my phone as my touch point for everything.
