NEW YORK, April 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- IA Capital Group, the leading insurtech-focused venture capital firm, today announced it has raised $150 million across three funds:

• Inter-Atlantic Stonybrook Insurtech Ventures, a multi-LP fund, focusing on property/casualty insurtech
• Inter-Atlantic G Fund, a single-LP fund, focusing on life/annuity/retirement insurtech
• Inter-Atlantic Ivy, a single-LP fund, focusing on later-stage opportunities in insurtech and fintech

The three funds represent the firm's sixth, seventh and eighth investment vehicles. With seven current funds/managed accounts plus its fully-exited first fund, IA Capital is the longest-tenured and most experienced firm with a primary focus on insurtech.
