Company mission
To make insurance work for small businesses.
Our take
Business insurance for SMBs can be an enormous hassle, with paperwork, phone calls and weeks-long processing times. That’s what Huckleberry is attempting to change with its simplified brokerage platform aimed at small businesses.
It boasts the ability to get you coverage in the time it takes to make a cup of coffee. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but its insurtech platform certainly can cut down the time it takes by days or weeks. Offering workers’ compensation and a range of partnerships with major providers like Chubb, Berkshire Hathaway and The Hartford, its offering is impressive.
The use of technology within insurance provision is rising rapidly, led by companies like Lemonade and Hippo for homeowner and renters. But Huckleberry leads the way for small businesses, and given the complexity of the insurance policies it navigates, competitors may have a hard time catching up.

Company values
- Software First: Insurance is one of the few remaining offline products that actually works better when sold digitally. We’re anchored by the belief that costs can be lowered, risk better analyzed and customer experience dramatically improved by building our company on a foundation of code
- Simplicity: Complexity isn’t just an annoyance, it creates real cost throughout our economy. By creating an insurance product that’s free from paper and light on complex jargon, we allow small business owners to focus on what they do best - growing their company
- Full-stack Solutions: There have been a wave of digital brokers that have come and gone. We believe that true value can only be unlocked by transforming as much of the tech stack as possible and building tighter integrations with a smaller number of trusted carrier partners
