Chief of Staff
We are an insurtech company where smart people can see the impact of their work as we tackle meaningful problems together. We work with small businesses using technology and innovation to improve how they access insurance. Like our small business clients, we are a diverse team of builders, dreamers, and entrepreneurs. So, at the heart of every decision we make is the idea that if it doesn’t serve our clients, it doesn’t serve us.
