The Global Agency That Refused to Become One
Worldcom sells a paradox: the reach of a multinational network without turning its agencies into branches. Its answer is less glamorous than a merger - peer review, local ownership and a habit of calling the right person in the right city.
Equal Parts
Equal Parts is an Austin-based insurance company that acquires established independent insurance agencies and equips them with shared infrastructure and AI-driven automation. Founded in March 2025 by Mike Witte, Graham Yennie and Mike Meller, it positions itself as a growth network - preserving each agency's identity and local relationships while standardizing back-office workflows so agents can focus on clients. The company raised a $23M Series A led by Inspired Capital in February 2026 and aims to become a top-5 insurance distributor by acquiring 25 agencies in 2026 and reaching $1B in premiums.
