Company Begins 2021 with 250% Year-over-Year Growth, Technological Innovations, and Milestone New Hires.

2020: A Year in Review for Corvus Insurance

BOSTON, MA January 21, 2021 / Corvus Insurance, the leading provider of smart commercial insurance products powered by AI-driven risk data, today announced that it exited 2020 at a $100M annual premium run rate, capping off a year that was marked by accelerated growth for the company. Corvus spent 2020 executing on a plan to reimagine commercial insurance, recognizing the market reality that traditional insurers are not meeting the dynamic needs of brokers and policyholders. Continual technological advancements throughout the year have placed Corvus in a leadership position across multiple commercial insurance products, dramatically increasing adoption and overall growth metrics.

Corvus Experiences 250% Year-over-Year Annual Growth 

Corvus experienced 250% YoY annual growth in Gross Written Premium in 2020. This growth included record premiums across each of Corvus’s three core product lines: cyber liability insurance, technology errors + omissions insurance, and ocean cargo insurance. True to the thesis Corvus was founded upon four years ago – to equally combine technology and data expertise with a deep understanding of insurance distribution channels – each of these three products leverages unique data sources and artificial intelligence to offer policyholders better risk coverage, while also focusing innovations on the needs of insurance brokers. Last year, Corvus also surpassed 10,000 policies written, launched its Enterprise and Reinsurance offerings, and significantly broadened its broker network.
