View from the Nest: Soaring into Q4 2019

Two innovative product launches, a corporate partnership, and ten new corvids joining the Flock made Q3 one to remember.

Corvus Insurance: Third Quarter Highlights

What a quarter. We've had so much news to share with you over the past three months, looking back it’s almost hard to believe the first Corvus Summit was this same quarter. Since then, we’ve launched two major new products, announced a new partnership, and hired a whole gaggle of new corvids. Did you miss anything along the way? Read on to see what the Flock has been up to.

The Flock Grows by Ten!

If you’re one of our followers on LinkedIn , you’ve probably noticed a lot of new corvids hopping into the nest. There have even been reports of an increase in the corvid population around the Bay Area - I guess the word got out that we’re starting a new Corvus Nest in San Francisco, with Hannah Hoeflinger as the first hire located there! 

We’ve brought in new hires across almost every department and we’re still looking for more. Curious about joining the Flock? Learn more.

Smart Commercial Insurance Gets Even Smarter

As the industry continues to grapple with concerns over “silent cyber”, we launched the first cyber-affirmative insurance policy for the ocean cargo industry, Smart Cargo+Cyber™. With this offering, each policy includes an affirmative Smart Cyber® endorsement and a Dynamic Loss Prevention Report®, outlining the policyholder’s cyber risk footprint.  

Next, we launched our data-enabled Smart Tech E&O™ product, a Tech E&O policy that includes Smart Cyber Insurance coverage with blanket Contingent Business Interruption and system failure, as well as up to $2M in cybercrime and social engineering coverage.

In the meantime we developed Corvus Flight, an enterprise solution for our partner brokers that offers a customized version of our platform, the CrowBar, making wholesale and retail brokers alike more efficient. With short apps, instant quotes, and no-touch binding, Corvus Flight was built with brokers in mind. Learn more about how to get appointed here.
