About Pathpoint:

Businesses and individuals around the world rely on the surplus lines insurance market to mitigate risk. Global commercial P&C premiums eclipsed $920 billion in 2022, with over $100 billion written in the surplus lines market. Yet insureds, brokers, and carriers lose countless dollars on slow processes, terrible technology, high commissions, and fees. We’ve created a new way to place and service excess and surplus lines risk that’s faster, cheaper, and easier for everyone. Learn more at pathpoint.com.
