Have you already gone through licensing and credentialing through the Division of Insurances in various states? Or are you just gauging interest at this point before the licensing steps? Asking because there is a whole E&O element on liability for you as the middleman.

Thanks for asking! We are licensed in 15 states right now with the required E&O policies, and are expanding to more states in the coming weeks.

New Mexico?

How is this different than Corgi?

We focus on hardtech mainly, robotics, manufacturing, physical products. Corgi has not broken into this space as much as we hope to as these clients are typically much harder to insure than pure software companies. Also insurance is big: over $1.7 trillion dollars of premium was written last year.

Medical devices, equipment? Not retail patient use but, clinic,hospital level?

How is this different than https://foundershield.com/ ?

They are pretty similar as they are an insurance broker like us, but they do not specialize in hardware/hardtech which is typically more difficult to get good coverage for. We do specialize in that.

how do you go about getting a license in a week to place those types of coverages in various states/contries? Are you a broke or MGA or something else?

We are acting as a broker and took the required tests very quickly.

No, but we'll expand to all 50 states soon. Most hardtech startups are in the 15 states we're licensed in.
