Root, Inc.
A car insurance company that prices policies based on how you actually drive. Its smartphone app runs a "test drive," using your phone's GPS and sensors to track speed, braking, and turning, then sets your rate on that real behavior rather than traditional factors like credit scores. Founded in 2015 in Columbus, Ohio, by Alex Timm and Dan Manges, the company took the name Root to signal a "root-level disruption" of a tired industry—and a return to fundamentals in judging risk. Drivers can see their rate shaped by their own habits behind the wheel.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 3 years: -815.9K shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
