With a background in insurance, Alex Timm approached Drive Capital for a job in venture capital. The conversation that took place at his interview did get Alex a new job, but it wasn't with Drive. It was as the founder of his own insurance company, Root Insurance.
Root has been a massive success since its founding 3 years ago. It has the rare type of growth that entrepreneurs and investors dream about, and it was recently valued at a billion dollars.
