Compliance & Regulatory Growth Bootstrapped

Overview

RiskRelease is a Dallas, Texas-based insurtech that automates renters insurance compliance for residential property operators. Founded in 2020 and led by CEO Jason Mezyk -- previously Vice President of Risk and Insurance at Revantage Corporate Services (a Blackstone unit) -- the company has grown rapidly to serve 50,000+ units across the United States, earning recognition on the Inc. 5000 list in both 2024 (No. 1,611) and 2025 (No. 2,203, with 195% three-year growth).

The platform removes the manual burden of tracking and enforcing renters insurance requirements for property managers. When residents need coverage, RiskRelease automatically enrolls them in tenant liability insurance at no cost to the property owner. When residents carry their own coverage, the platform uses AI to review submitted policies within 48 hours and provide compliance feedback. The system integrates with major property management platforms including Yardi, Entrata, ResMan, and RentManager.

The business model adds monthly fees to resident bills, with no implementation costs for property operators. Coverage protects against fire, smoke, explosion, water discharge, and sewer backup, with liability reimbursement ranging from USD 100,000 to USD 300,000.
