AutoComplete, Inc.

What AutoComplete, Inc. does

AutoComplete, Inc. is a San Francisco-based, venture-backed insurance technology company founded in 2021 that operates an AI-powered auto insurance comparison and distribution platform embedded directly into U.S. auto dealerships. The company operates through AutoComplete Insurance Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned licensed insurance agency (CA License #6006867) authorized in all 50 states, allowing it to quote and bind policies nationwide through a single legal entity. The platform compares rates across 20+ insurance carriers — including GEICO, Liberty Mutual, Allstate, Travelers, Progressive, and Farmers — using structured data on vehicle, driving history, and current coverage to produce personalized quotes in approximately 60 seconds. AutoComplete integrates with all four major U.S. dealer management systems (CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, Dealertrack, and Tekion), enabling zero-friction deployment that requires no IT work or sales training.

The company serves two customer segments from a dual-sided platform: (1) auto dealerships and dealer groups, which receive a passive commission revenue stream on auto, home, and renters insurance policies sold to their customers with no operational burden; and (2) car buyers, who use a consumer-facing portal to compare quotes and switch policies, reportedly saving an average of $1,130 per year. AutoComplete is active in 1,500+ dealerships across all 50 states, including 60 of the Automotive News Top 150 dealer groups such as Lithia, Serra, CarMax, Ken Garff, and Pohanka. The platform is free for dealerships and free for consumers; revenue is generated entirely through commission splits with insurance carriers on bound policies.

In August 2024, AutoComplete closed a funding round led by Bain Capital Ventures and FM Capital with strategic participation from public dealer group AutoNation and multiple large dealer groups (Ken Garff, Pohanka, Butler, Flow, Mills, OREMOR). Earlier funding came from Mentors Fund in January 2023. The company is led by co-founder Ahmed Khaishgi (CEO), co-CEO and co-founder Jeffrey Pang, and co-founder/CTO Jon Zhang, with Mark Borkowicz serving as CFO. Trustpilot reviews exceed 3,700 with 3,500+ five-star ratings, and the company holds a BBB A+ accreditation.

• Jerry: Jerry is an AI-powered insurance comparison and switching app that shops auto, home, and renters across many carriers, similar to AutoComplete's underlying recommendation engine. The companies pursue the same end-customer savings narrative.
• CoverHound (Aon): CoverHound, now part of Aon, built an online auto and home insurance comparison and brokerage platform. It is a close historical analog to AutoComplete's consumer-side comparison-and-bind flow.
• EverQuote: EverQuote (NASDAQ: EVER) operates an online insurance marketplace that connects consumers with insurance agents and carriers across auto, home, and other lines. Overlap with AutoComplete is strongest in the auto insurance shopping and lead-generation mechanics.

Emerging players

• Policygenius: Policygenius is a digital insurance broker across life, home, auto, and other lines. Comparable as an insurtech agency with multi-carrier comparison, though AutoComplete is narrowly focused on the dealer point-of-sale.

Broad incumbents

Others
