Trōv is a new on-demand insurance app that allows users to insure and file claims for high-priced personal items like laptops directly through the app. The app processes claims within minutes rather than weeks and does not require annual contracts like traditional insurers. Trōv launched in the UK and Australia and plans to expand to the US in 2017, having raised over $25.5 million from investors. The startup aims to appeal to younger audiences who prefer a fast, personalized mobile experience compared to traditional insurance models.
