Background

Lemonade needs precise attribution: it is not an Israeli company on paper — Lemonade, Inc. is incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in New York — but it was founded by Israelis Daniel Schreiber and Shai Wininger, runs its technology through an Israeli subsidiary (Lemonade, Ltd.) with a Tel Aviv R&D office, and its co-founders are based in Israel, where some employees have been called to IDF reserve duty since October 2023. Its documented wartime conduct consists of the CEO's public pro-Israel statements and the company's publication of his town hall; no corporate donations to Israeli war-related causes are documented. Name confusion is common: the company's 'Lemonade Foundation' is a climate initiative (insuring smallholder farmers in Africa) unrelated to Israel; its annual 'Giveback' donates unclaimed premiums to charities chosen by customers, with no Israeli emergency organizations documented among recipients; and the Israeli breast-cancer charity 'Lemonade Fund' and an Arizona 'Lemonade Foundation' nonprofit are entirely unrelated entities.

Operations in Israel2015—State of Israel (Tel Aviv R&D center, employment, tech ecosystem)
Israeli-founded with major Israeli operations, though US-incorporated: Lemonade, Inc. is a Delaware public benefit corporation headquartered in New York, founded in 2015 by Israeli entrepreneurs Daniel Schreiber and Shai Wininger (a Fiverr co-founder). Its technology and R&D arm, Lemonade, Ltd., is organized under Israeli law and operates from leased offices in Tel Aviv; per its 10-K, employees outside the US are primarily in Israel and the Netherlands, its co-founders and some product-development staff are located in Israel, and some Israel-based officers and employees have been called to military reserve or active duty since October 2023. Lemonade does not sell insurance in Israel.
Public statement2023-10—State of Israel (public solidarity)
Co-founder and CEO Daniel Schreiber — personally, writing from Israel — posted on October 10, 2023: 'I am with Israel and am in Israel. The depravity of the attack on Saturday left us all bereaved and bereft, and it put Hamas irredeemably in the category of the most deplorable forces, alongside ISIS, who must be eradicated by people of good will.' Five days later the company published, on Lemonade's official YouTube channel, his internal town hall addressing employees worldwide about the Hamas attack ('Update from Israel'); in November 2023 he discussed the war's impact on Jewish businesses and 'an outpouring of antisemitism' on Fox Business. The X post and interviews are Schreiber's personal statements; the town-hall video was distributed by the company.
