Frequently Asked Questions
The following is general information, not a statement of coverage. Actual terms depend on the specific policy issued. Contact us to discuss your situation.
What insurance do early-stage startups typically need?
It varies by business, but founders commonly look at D&O (management liability), EPLI (employment practices), cyber, and professional liability / E&O, alongside core commercial coverage. We help founders prioritize based on stage, investors, and risk profile rather than selling a fixed bundle.
We’re incorporated in Nevada — does that affect our D&O?
Your state of incorporation and where you operate are among the factors that shape how a D&O program is structured and underwritten. We regularly work with Nevada-incorporated startups and can account for those specifics when placing coverage.
Do we need D&O before we’ve raised money?
Not always — but it often becomes relevant as soon as outside capital or a formal board enters the picture, and many investors require it. We can help you decide whether it makes sense now or at your next milestone.
What’s the difference between D&O and EPLI for a startup?
D&O generally relates to management decisions and oversight; EPLI generally relates to employment matters such as claims of wrongful termination, discrimination, or harassment. Growing teams frequently consider both. We can explain how each applies to your situation.
Can you work with us if we’re remote or multi-state?
Yes. We’re licensed in Nevada, California, Utah, and Colorado and regularly work with distributed startup teams. We can discuss how multi-state operations factor into your coverage.
How do we get started?
The fastest path is a short conversation about your company, stage, and what’s prompting the review. From there we can scope what to quote. Use our contact or quote-request page to reach us.
