Introducing Vouch Horizon: A New Approach to Insurance for Scale-Stage Startups

PR Newswire

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vouch, the leader in business insurance for VC-backed startups, today unveils Vouch Horizon, a tailored insurance offering for scale-stage startups grappling with complex risks and insurance requirements.

75% of startups working with non-specialized brokers have critical coverage gaps, leaving core business risks inadvertently unprotected

For half a decade, Vouch has set the benchmark for protecting innovative startups. Celebrated for its ability to deliver coverage in just 10 minutes, Vouch has successfully served over 4,000 startup clients and has become the go-to insurance partner for the tech ecosystem.

Yet, as startups grow to Series B and beyond, their risks become more complex. Vouch has discovered a ticking time bomb: 75% of startups working with non-specialized brokers have critical coverage gaps, leaving core business risks inadvertently unprotected. In an era of constrained investment and escalating litigation costs, startups need insurance that goes beyond fulfilling basic contractual obligations; they need coverage that actually covers their complex risks.

Introducing Vouch Horizon, an offering shaped by the clients Vouch has grown alongside. Vouch Horizon is designed to support tech leaders as they scale from Series B to IPO with the assurance and peace of mind they deserve.

"Vouch Horizon has been a breath of fresh air. Their unmatched expertise in both the insurance and tech industries, paired with a genuine partnership approach, has instilled confidence that we have the right coverage in place. The Horizon team has guided us through the strategic decisions necessary to optimize our risk strategy," praises Tom Kaeding, CFO of Wunderkind.

Vouch Horizon's distinctive features include:

White glove service from seasoned insurance experts specialized in your industry niche
Brokerage access to a curated marketplace of technology-focused insurance carriers
Exclusive policies specifically designed for tech and life science risks
Access to an ecosystem of partners providing risk management services
Consultation services for third-party contract negotiations
Targeted benchmarking data, fine-tuned to your specific niche

Additionally, for those who want to know if they have a ticking time bomb, Vouch Horizon offers a no-charge, no-obligation, comprehensive coverage analysis.

Travis Hedge, Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer, believes this is the change the industry needs: "The complexity of insurance can make it feel impossible to know exactly what you're buying – let alone make smart, strategic trade-off decisions between protection and price. For the sake of your own career and reputation, you need confidence that your insurance will stand strong when litigation strikes. That's the driving force behind Vouch Horizon. We give scale-stage startups the personalized service, specialist expertise, and carrier access to ensure the ideal coverage for their unique needs."
