COVU Continues Rapid Growth with Sixth Acquisition: Mitchell Insurance Agency Joins the Platform
As COVU's sixth acquisition in its Rolling Thunder campaign, Mitchell represents a meaningful step forward in the company's strategy to enhance its AI-native platform through strategic partnerships with high-quality agencies —delivering more scale, reach, and flexibility for agency owners across the state.
'Mitchell is exactly the kind of partner that strengthens our platform,' said Ali Safavi, CEO of COVU. 'They've built a strong, loyal customer base and trusted carrier relationships over many years. We're not here to change that—we're here to support and elevate it, using the tools and infrastructure we've designed to help agencies thrive in the future.'
Commercial and Personal Lines Strength at Scale
Founded in Roseville, CA, Mitchell Insurance Agency is known for its highly personalized service, experienced staff, and long-standing partnerships with key carriers like Mercury and Safeco. With a healthy mix of personal and commercial lines clients and strong revenue retention (113%), Mitchell brings both scale and stability to COVU's expanding California presence.
Mitchell's history of consistent revenue and customer loyalty makes it an ideal fit for integration into COVU's remote-first, AI-supported model—where operations become more efficient without compromising the high-touch experience customers expect.
A Platform That Grows with You—or After You
As with all of COVU's recent acquisitions, this move reinforces the company's core mission: to enable agency partners to modernize and grow—or exit on their terms. COVU's platform supports both outcomes while preserving customer experience, staff opportunity, and carrier continuity.
'We've built a platform that respects what makes agencies great—relationships, reputation, and care,' Safavi added. 'With Mitchell, we're deepening our commitment to California and proving that AI-native doesn't mean agency-less—it means future-ready.'

The man behind California's gerrymander
After transferring to American University in Washington, D.C., and earning a degree in communications, legal institutions, economics and government, Mitchell idealistically began working on campaigns out of college. He interned in 1998 with Al Checchi's famously profligate campaign for California's Democratic gubernatorial nomination, but never loved the work. Mitchell said he was distressed by the cycle of investing in someone's hopes and dreams only to watch them fail. He felt like he was failing with them. Data, he found, was more consistent. Mitchell worked as a legislative staffer for Democratic Assemblymember Nicole Parra and later in leadership roles for an educational non-profit called EdVoice. It wasn't until 2010 that he would find his real niche in California politics, founding a firm called Redistricting Partners at the behest of Christopher Cabaldon, a Mitchell mentor now serving as a Democratic state senator. First hired by community college districts to help set their boundaries, Mitchell grew Redistricting Partners into a full-fledged business sought out by dozens of counties, cities, special districts and even New York state. He established a flavor of map-making that was heavy on community input and public engagement. To him, redistricting was an iterative process of draft maps and discussions with community organizations. Mitchell had arrived in Sacramento as a strong Democrat with an activist mentality, but his views began to shift as he matured and built relationships on both sides of the political aisle. In 2012, he joined Political Data, Inc., whose effective monopoly on California voter information put Mitchell in a position to work with politicians of all stripes. He took pride in being able to sit down with the chairs of the Republican and Democratic parties and offer objective data tools. 'They see me as the data guy,' Mitchell said. 'I'm just part of the furniture.' With time Mitchell became less of a partisan and more of an 'institutionalist,' he said. His long ponytail has been replaced by a modest crew cut, the Marlboro Reds with bicycle races. He became a sage voice for California politics on TV and in the press. When Political Data, Inc. announced in 2021 it would work only with Democrats and left-leaning groups, Mitchell was actively peeved by the move. Such has been Mitchell's approach for the past 15 years. In Sacramento, his data, and his approach, was seen as above reproach. That may not be the case soon. 'I had never done a partisan redistricting,' Mitchell said this week. 'Until just now.' Mitchell's long ponytail has been replaced by a modest crew cut, the Marlboro Reds with bicycle races. | Courtesy of Paul Mitchell An outdated skill Last month, Newsom suggested rushing the type of partisan redraw that California hasn't seen in decades. The move first seemed an apparent feint by Newsom, an occasion to position himself as a defender of democracy while Texas Republicans looked to gerrymander their own state and add more safe Republican seats to Congress. Many observers saw the move as an example of Newsom's political ambition, emblematic of his desire to serve as the prime public antagonizer to Trump and the Republican party.
