In less than five years, Root Insurance has grown from a plucky startup to one of the most exciting and rapidly growing companies in all of Ohio. Based in their new downtown Columbus home, Root’s app-based approach and commitment to using data to update the insurance industry has the company branded as a “unicorn,” a major target for investors with a huge valuation. But co-founder and CEO Alex Timm is keeping his focus on improving the company he helped build, bringing Root’s values to more customers each day.
