Overview
Cake Insure is a digital distribution platform for workers compensation insurance, serving small businesses and independent agents through a self-service online quote-and-bind experience. Operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pinnacol Assurance -- a Colorado-based workers comp carrier -- Cake provides employers with online access to workers comp coverage without going through a traditional broker or agent.
The platform uses AI-powered business classification to streamline the application process, allowing employers to obtain quotes and purchase policies in under two minutes. Built on a microservices architecture with REST API integration into Pinnacol Assurance's underwriting and claims systems, Cake supports paperless proof of coverage, online policy management, and digital claim filing. The platform also extends coverage to employers hiring across multiple states.
Founded in 2017 with total funding of approximately USD 10.1M, Cake has served Colorado small businesses across a range of industries and was recognized as a Top Insurtech Startup by Insurance CIO Outlook in 2019. The platform targets businesses with one to 100+ employees looking for a faster, fully digital alternative to traditional workers comp distribution.
