These companies help protect and improve the financial security of Nationwide’s members, allowing Nationwide® to live up to its mission of protecting people, businesses and futures with extraordinary care.
Our differentiator
In addition to investing, we also seek to partner with startups that are transforming the insurance and financial service industries. We partner with portfolio and non-portfolio startups to help Nationwide’s business units expand distribution, increase customer satisfaction and operate more efficiently. We are always looking for ways to bring the expertise and assets of a Fortune 100 company to the startup ecosystem.
