We asked our team what they enjoyed most about Root. We got a lot of love, including this gem from Chelsea Frost: “I love the sub-culture of adventure that exists at Root. We often have conversations about epic hikes, new camp spots and encouragement for outdoor experiences.”

Last week, @hermux spoke to the Root team about his journey building and managing @EskomSePush with his partner Dan Wells. He took us through the tools they use to manage the app and demoed some cool features like this one which changes the content on the app in real time.

We are welcoming Stephen De Goede to the Root Team! As one of our Solutions Engineers, Stephen will help design, implement and support clients in launching their insurance solutions on the Root platform. We are thrilled to have you onboard 🚀
