Our take
Historically, it’s been extremely cumbersome to qualify, onboard and manage workers’ comp insurance, particularly for America’s small businesses which haven’t been prioritized by larger carriers. That’s left small businesses often stranded with expensive and low-quality coverage.
Pie Insurance is changing all that through its technology-first model. Using data and analytics to better comprehend risk and speed up the decision-making process, it reduces the time to make an underwriting decision to a few minutes. Facing only legacy competition in an industry ripe for disruption, Pie Insurance has enjoyed rapid growth and received significant investment funding from backers in the InsurTech space.
Having recently acquired a nationally licensed insurance company, Pie Insurance is now able to directly issue its own policies nationwide. Currently available in 38 states, it will be aiming to expand its operations into the remaining states and territories to provide insurance to small businesses across the entire USA.
