To make insurance fair, fast, and accessible for every contractor in America.
Consumer-facing neoinsurance providers have been booming over recent years. Its success has proven that offering an easy-access marketplace that streamlines policy purchasing is a winning model. Now, there’s a flurry of startups looking to carry that model over to more specific, B2B sectors. Billy is one such company and has its sights set on the trillion-dollar US construction industry.
Billy offers a SaaS platform from which construction industry stakeholders can purchase insurance policies, identify gaps in coverage, save on insurance costs, and manage all this from a single hub. This is a smart move: included in Billy’s addressable market are also companies with existing insurance, looking for a platform from which to manage it more efficiently. With digital transformation lagging in the construction industry, this management platform could prove a unique bonus.
It also helps set Billy apart from startup rivals in the space. Shepherd is one, offering a simpler insurance marketplace focusing on excess liability coverage and underwriting. Both are receiving healthy funding, indicating strong market confidence in the prospect of construction insurtech. With strong industry expertise, a unique product, and huge enterprise customers to play for, Billy’s prospects look good.
