Digital landlord insurance platform with quote-to-bind in minutes
Obie sells direct-to-landlord insurance through a streamlined digital interface, underpinned by Salesforce, React, Node.js, and Python. The product roadmap centers on rate revisions, state expansion, and API-first integrations—typical scaling challenges for an insurtech. The pain-point list reveals friction with legacy backend systems and data quality: they're simultaneously automating QA checks, building dashboards, and wrestling with reconciliation across internal and external reporting systems.
Obie is an insurtech platform focused on landlord and multifamily real estate insurance, founded in 2017 and based in Chicago. The company differentiates on quote speed (under 5 minutes) and user experience, removing friction from a traditionally paper-heavy underwriting process. Revenue model depends on state-by-state approval: active projects show ongoing rate filings and expansion into new states. The platform integrates Salesforce for CRM, Sage Intacct for accounting, and in-house APIs; engineering and product capacity (8 combined roles) outpace sales (1), indicating a product-led growth phase.
Core stack: Salesforce (CRM), Sage Intacct (accounting), React and Node.js (frontend/backend), Python and SQL (data), GraphQL (API layer), Google Workspace. No machine learning or data warehouse tools listed.
