About Vouch:

At Vouch, we believe business insurance should move at the speed of innovation. Legacy insurance providers can’t keep up with the emerging risks of high-growth companies, leaving clients stuck with outdated, rigid coverage.

Vouch is a modern insurance provider dedicated to the innovation economy. Backed by $185M in funding from world-class investors, we’re reimagining business insurance—just as Stripe transformed payments and Brex reimagined credit cards.

Our platform replaces complex, legacy processes with a streamlined, tailored approach to risk management. Advanced technology simplifies every step, while expert advisors negotiate coverage as dynamic as the industries we serve. With Vouch, clients get the right coverage at the right price—and a team that scales with them.
