Overview

iBynd is a digital commercial insurance distribution platform that enables wholesalers, program administrators, and MGAs to embed cyber and commercial insurance quoting and binding capabilities directly into their websites and workflows. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Englewood, NJ, the company is led by CEO Philip Friedman, a 19-year SMB executive with 11 years in the insurance industry.

The platform is designed to dramatically reduce friction in the commercial insurance purchase process. Partners can integrate iBynd with minimal code -- a process that typically takes approximately 10 minutes -- after which their customers can rate, quote, and bind a policy in under five minutes. iBynd operates an API-first model with direct carrier integrations, enabling real-time policy issuance and certificate of insurance collection.

In March 2026, iBynd expanded its capabilities by acquiring Semsee, a company specializing in streamlining small commercial quoting for independent agents. The acquisition integrates Semsee's submission management and workflow technology into iBynd's platform, creating a connected system where agents can digitally submit, quote, bind, and manage policies in real-time.
