In October 2021, Acko raised $255m in new funding from investors including General Atlantic and Multiples, achieving unicorn status with a $1bn valuation. The company claimed over 70m customers at the time. This Series D or later round propelled Acko into the unicorn list, amid a 2021 insurtech funding boom before market cooling in 2022 with lower valuations and fewer deals.

On September 15, 2020, Acko raised $60 million in the first tranche of its Series D funding round, led by Munich Re Ventures with participation from existing investors Amazon, RPS Ventures, and Intact Ventures. This brought total funding to $200 million to date. The round valued Acko at approximately $500 million, up from about $300 million in the prior year, according to sources familiar with the matter. Pre-close reports speculated a $400-500 million valuation range for an up to $70 million round led by Munich Re Ventures. The funds were intended to expand insurance product lines and invest in technology. Munich Re Ventures highlighted Acko as a leading digital insurer in India and their first investment there, emphasizing the impact of digitally native insurance solutions. Amazon had previously led Acko's Series A in 2018 ($12 million) and participated in Series C ($65 million in March 2019). This Series D tranche preceded a larger $255 million Series D extension in 2021 that achieved unicorn status at $1.1 billion valuation with different lead investors.
Nov 2019Undisclosed stageAscent Capital (lead); Binny Bansal (lead)$36M-Acko is a Mumbai-based digital insurance startup offering online-only policies for auto, bike, mobile protection, and bite-sized products like rider insurance and ticket cancellation in partnerships with platforms such as Ola, Amazon, redBus, Zomato, and UrbanClap.

By early 2019, it had insured about 20 crore vehicles in the prior year and served over 20 million customers. In late November 2019, Acko was reportedly raising $40-42 million in a funding round comprising domestic capital, subject to regulatory approval due to India's 49% FDI cap in insurance. Binny Bansal committed $20 million (Rs 143.50 crore), bringing his total investment to $45 million across rounds, his largest personal bet on an Indian startup. Ascent Capital was expected to invest $16 million, with rumors of participation from Ventureast and Baring Private Equity Partners India. This followed Acko's March 2019 Series C round of $65 million (Rs 452.3 crore) from new investors including Binny Bansal ($25 million), RPS Ventures (Kabir Misra), Intact Ventures, and existing backers Amazon, Accel, SAIF, and TechPro Ventures. That round valued Acko at approximately $300 million post-money, bringing total funding to $107 million. Avendus Capital advised on the Series C. Acko planned to use funds for capital compliance, technology platform enhancements, and distribution growth, aiming for fourfold business expansion. Prior rounds included $30 million seed in 2017 and $12 million Series B led by Amazon in 2018 with Catamaran Ventures and others.
