British car insurance startup Marshmallow has almost doubled its valuation to more than $2 billion after a funding round that was backed by new investors BlackRock, Columbia Lake Partners and Portage.

The firm, which offers insurance to under-served customers such as immigrants, raised $90 million in a mix of equity and debt to fund its expansion into new markets and products, according to a statement Tuesday.
