Specializing exclusively in entertainment and sports insurance, Athos pioneered the concept of "Instant Insurance" -- enabling customers to obtain quotes, purchase policies, issue certificates of insurance, and manage renewals entirely online without agent intervention.
The company serves production companies, filmmakers, event organizers, equipment rental houses, sports organizations, and specialty service providers across all 50 U.S. states. Athos holds California Insurance License #0H94681 and maintains carrier appointments across standard and E&S markets to serve its specialty niches.
A digitally native brokerage from day one, Athos operates 24/7 online portals for quoting and policy issuance and is the exclusive insurance partner for ShareGrid, the largest peer-to-peer camera gear rental marketplace in the U.S. The company has built proprietary quoting systems integrating with third-party rental and production platforms, enabling same-day coverage for time-sensitive production needs.
