Jetty's launch suite includes two traditional insurance products, Renters & Condo/Co-op, as well as Jetty Passport, a pair of revolutionary renter services that help tenants get in the door and help landlords drive occupancy.

Both Jetty and Coya are in the very earliest stages, so there aren't a lot ofmetrics to evaluate yet. They are innovating on the sales channel for distributing insurance products first, by utilizing mobile and point of sale channels (instead of through agents in-person or over the phone) as well as offering shorter duration and more granular products (e.g., Jetty Passport).
