Atlanta-based business insurance platform Layr has paved the path for the future of small commercial insurance with its unique, artificial intelligence-powered platform. The startup has secured an investment from insurance giant Lloyd's following a successful experience in the Lloyd's Lab, a cohort of insurtech (insurance technology) startups. Lloyd's support not only shows its commitment to the modernization of its marketplace, but also that they are eager to make it as easy as possible for the U.S. small commercial market to do business with Lloyd's for specialty insurance.

Layr announced today that it has been selected to participate in the inaugural cohort of Lloyd's Lab, the InsurTech innovation accelerator by global insurance giant Lloyd's of London. The company beat out more than 200 companies from 36 countries to be among the 10 companies in this first cohort. The 10-week accelerator will operate out of the historic Lloyd's building in London.
