Our take
Traditionally, insurance has lagged behind other financial services industries when it comes to new technologies. Embroker was founded to try and modernize the $800B property and casualty (P&C) insurance market.
The digital business insurance platform utilizes modern tech like machine learning and AI to make business policies better suited and more affordable to its customers. Embroker has secured its status as one of the leading commercial insurance brokers on the market and serves more than 25,000 businesses.
While the company has been a broker since its inception, Embroker announced its intentions to become a fully-fledged insurance carrier, following in the footsteps of its insurtech competitor Next Insurance. With significant funding and several new product launches under its belt, Embroker is dedicated to offering tailored protections for professionals navigating the rapidly evolving landscape.
