We’re just getting started, but our experience is long-lived.
Founded during a pandemic, our fully virtual team believes in the tremendous opportunity to transform commercial insurance in the E&S market. We’re focused on removing the pain points and operational inefficiencies that have long frustrated brokers and underwriters alike.

What brings you joy? For us, it’s asking why.
It’s finding new ways to solve old problems. It’s creating products that deliver to our customers. It’s using data and technology to make better decisions. Every day, we’re working to make the insurance experience more authentic, efficient and trustworthy — and to do something surprising — bring a bit of joy to insurance.
Why does it take weeks after sending in a submission to hear back (or sometimes never)? Why can’t all policies be issued at binding? Why isn’t it standard practice to share data?
Data.
Technology.
Expertise.
We maximize every touchpoint to create the most impact
Though our technology breaks the mold, our underwriting makes us predictable, reliable partners
The relationships we create and sustain make us quality partners for the long haul
Thinking broadly, not sticking to the status-quo, helps everyone grow
Data is a two-way street. Sharing data allows everyone to become stronger and more resilient
Let’s join forces.
We know insurance. And all of its inefficiencies. We’re delivering a new standard.
