Overview
1Fort is an AI-powered platform that automates business insurance workflows for independent brokers and agents. The company addresses a core inefficiency in commercial insurance: agents sell 90% of insurance but spend only 10% of their time with clients, with the rest consumed by manual processes involving PDFs, email chains, and repetitive data entry. 1Fort's platform streamlines the entire broker workflow from submission to binding across specialty commercial lines.
Originally focused on cyber insurance automation, 1Fort has expanded to cover the full spectrum of specialty commercial lines including Cyber, D&O, E&O, Fiduciary, and EPLI. The platform uses AI to autofill insurance applications, retrieve quotes from carriers, compare coverages, and integrate payment and financing options. Brokers using 1Fort report saving up to two hours per submission and increasing their bind rate by as much as 20%.
1Fort is licensed in all 50 states and has partnered with more than a dozen A-rated carriers. The company grew revenue nearly 200% month-over-month in 2024 and has raised $10M in total funding, with a $7.5M round led by Bonfire Ventures in April 2025.
