Foresight
Foresight is a San Francisco-based commercial insurtech that ties safe work practices to insurance savings. It writes workers' compensation coverage for hard-to-place middle-market businesses in industries like construction, manufacturing, agriculture and landscaping, bundling its Safesite safety platform, virtual safety coaching and AI-informed underwriting into every policy to prevent injuries, reduce claims and lower rates.
arqu
arqu is a San Francisco-based, tech-enabled wholesale insurance brokerage rebuilding how large, complex commercial risks are placed in the roughly $100bn US Excess & Surplus (E&S) market. Rather than acting as a quick-quote platform, arqu pairs experienced broker teams with proprietary software that pre-underwrites every risk in depth, giving retail brokers and capacity providers better data, faster placements, and sharper pricing. It focuses on construction, real estate, energy, and environmental risks and works with 20 of the largest retail brokerages in the country.
Shepherd
Shepherd is a San Francisco insurtech that writes commercial insurance for builders and infrastructure operators. Founded in 2020, it pairs proprietary AI underwriting with real-time construction data to price and issue excess liability, primary casualty and builder's risk policies in hours rather than weeks. Once focused on middle-market general contractors, Shepherd now insures the physical layer of the AI boom - data centers, semiconductor plants and energy assets - having covered more than $400 billion in project value across 1,500-plus policies for 600-plus customers.
