SAN FRANCISCO & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EIS, a core and digital platform provider for insurers, today announced a growth investment of more than $100 million from TPG, a global alternative asset firm. TPG is investing out of TPG Tech Adjacencies (TTAD), its fund focused on flexible capital solutions for the technology industry. The new funding will be used to continue to accelerate product development across the spectrum of risk, health, and wealth, and support geographic expansion. Additional terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Founded in 2008, EIS is an insurance software company that enables leading insurers to innovate and operate in faster, more secure, and agile ways.

“We are excited to partner with TPG as we continue to bring our best-in-class, cloud-native suite of technology solutions to insurers across the globe,” said Alec Miloslavsky, Founder and CEO of EIS. “The team at TPG is aligned with our ambitious growth strategy and their longstanding track record, industry relationships, and deep expertise make them an ideal partner for EIS as we propel our business forward. The investment will help us to continue to meet growing client demand as insurers transition from outdated ‘modern legacy’ systems toward a platform that provides the flexibility, speed, openness, and security that today’s highly competitive market requires.”
The customer-centric EIS Suite is a unique multi-line platform combining depth in relevant lines of business, the modern architecture of insurtech, and proven scalability that supports the largest API-first, cloud-native core system implementation in the world. EIS serves clients across North America, Europe, and Asia and the platform-agnostic EIS Suite can be deployed on AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
