Strategic Partnership with The Baldwin Group
On June 11, 2025, Hippo entered into an agreement with The Baldwin Group to form a strategic partnership. Under the terms of the agreement:
- Hippo will distribute its new construction homeowners product through Baldwin's subsidiary, Westwood Insurance Agency's industry-leading homebuilder network. This will allow Hippo to accelerate the growth of its New Homes business by accessing three times as many new construction homebuyers.
- Baldwin will purchase Hippo's existing homebuilder distribution network for $100 million.
- Hippo's hybrid fronting platform, Spinnaker, will build upon its decade-long support of Baldwin's MSI Renters and MSI Homeowners programs by providing capacity to a broader range of Baldwin's MGA programs.
