FAQ (Transparency where it matters)
Where do you sit in the value chain?
We operate as an underwriting and operating layer, embedded alongside distribution and capacity partners rather than competing with them.
What risks do you focus on first?
We start where data availability, operational leverage, and partner alignment are strongest, expanding deliberately as the platform matures.
Who owns underwriting authority?
Authority is delegated, bounded, and governed contractually — always aligned with partner mandates.
How do partners work with you in practice?
Through structured integrations that align incentives across distribution, underwriting, and capacity.
Who should reach out?
Platforms, brokers, capacity partners, and advisors exploring disciplined ways to scale marine insurance.
