Overview

INSURATE is a technology-enabled managing general agent (MGA) specializing in workers' compensation insurance for high-hazard industries and hard-to-place risks. The company combines deep workers' compensation expertise with artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and data science to identify and underwrite best-in-class operators within dangerous industries, offering them better rates than traditional carriers. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska with operations in Seattle, Insurate was built by a team with extensive insurance industry experience and technology backgrounds.

INSURATE's mission is to modernize high-hazard workers' comp for businesses that build and sustain America, rewarding safer companies through dynamic pricing and loss prevention initiatives. The company's proprietary Safe-Tier platform leverages AI and predictive analytics to assess hundreds of novel data points for more accurate risk evaluation -- without requiring additional audits or forms from insureds.

The company targets best-in-class employers in industries such as construction, transportation and trucking, agriculture, power line construction, roofing, and commercial staffing -- all sectors typically penalized by broad industry classifications rather than their individual safety performance.
