We believe it’s important to specialize
The saying “jack of all trades, master of none,” is definitely true in the commercial insurance industry. With so many different carriers, policy forms, and coverage endorsements available for a single risk, it’s nearly impossible to stay up to date with the changes. Focusing on an industry allows brokers to truly bring value to their clients.
These are the best brokers and their specialty
Over the past 11+ years, we’ve worked with many of the best venture capital and private equity backed companies in the world. Many of these companies are technology or tech enabled services companies. However, some are more traditional businesses like manufacturers, contractors, and professional sports franchises. This diverse background often leads people to ask our opinion of the top brokers we compete with.
We are keen on transparency and always open to sharing honest opinions on the brokerage community. Below is a list of some of the best brokers in the US and their specialties.
