    ABOUT EXTEND:

    Extend is modernizing the $45 billion-per year extended warranty and protection plan industry using cutting edge technology, and top notch customer service.

    Our API-first solution allows any merchant to offer extended warranties and protection plans, both online and offline, while also providing a merchant's end customers with a vastly improved and modern support experience that eliminates many of the issues customers face today with legacy underwriters.

    We are a venture backed startup based in downtown San Francisco that is led by founders who have previously had multiple successful exit. Extend is simplifying the technology stack for the extended warranty industry, in the same way that Stripe did for online payments and Affirm did for consumer point of sale financing.
