Join the revolution to free entrepreneurs

Commercial insurance needs to change. Insify was born out of our frustration with how traditional insurers operate and how much it actually costs to small businesses to get a decent safety net. Whereas fintechs have permanently reshaped the finance industry, tech is only getting started with insurance…and the opportunity is huge! We are well underway to reshape the “dull” and “tedious” image of insurance to easy, reliable and affordable (yes, really!).

We are a tech company at heart, building our own insurance platform. We extensively rely on data (API integrations, automated workflows, rule engines, natural language processing, machine learning) to figure out how to best way to get (and keep) our customer’s companies insured at a fair price. Combine that with our fully online portal, real attention to UX, and leading underwriting, then getting your business insured may just become a fun experience.
