This week, Thimble announced a milestone partnership with Angie’s List, the leading home services directory in the U.S. (and we’re partying accordingly).

Now, Angie’s 350,000+ Pros will have access to no-commitment business insurance, integrated right into their Angie’s List dashboard. This is a huge achievement for our small team at Thimble, and it’s a testament to the game-changing product we’ve built. Most of all, it is validation that innovation in insurance is possible, and this is just the beginning.

Why Angie’s List?

With the growth of the trust economy, Angie’s List has always gone above and beyond to provide customers with Pros’ background checks and license verification; now, they’re making a big leap to further increase trust between their service providers and homeowners by offering instant business insurance.

As the largest user of Thimble’s API, Angie’s List now displays insurance quotes to their users that they can purchase in 60 seconds. It’s never been easier for a service professional to get the coverage they need and give their customers next-level confidence in their work.

Angie’s List was also the perfect partner because we cover all the top professions found on the platform! These include:

  • Plumbing
  • Handymen
  • House cleaning
  • Electricians
  • Heating & A/C
  • Appliance repair
  • Landscaping & Lawn Care

The Thimble Difference

Most financial services products for small business are one-size-fits-all, but Thimble continues to shift the paradigm. Angie’s List Pros can now get insurance — by the job or by the month — in 60 seconds. Leveling the playing field and reducing the cost of insurance enables these Pros to compete for jobs they otherwise couldn’t get.

The Thimble API can plug into any platform and provide your customers dynamic insurance with the same seamless experience.

And We’re Just Getting Started…

In our 2 years of existence, we’ve served over 50,000 business owners, and we’re just getting started. We’re so excited to welcome the entrepreneurial spirits on Angie’s List, who are joining us as we help more business owners succeed on their own terms.
