Our take
As the tech revolution sweeps across industries, specialty insurance has remained relatively underserved. San Francisco-based arqu sets out to solve this problem, with its proprietary platform for digital risk placement.
The platform offers its users, both retailers and underwriters, access to data-driven digital risk placement services. The idea is to increase efficiency and transparency and enable a more accurate and full picture of risk, which in turn allows clients to do their best work.
arqu is tapping into a valuable gap in the market, and stands to make impressive gains in the coming years if it is able to successfully scale. It boasts an experienced founding team of Morgan Stanley and Lyft executives, which has given the company an impressive amount of credibility from which to start building a reputation.
