Polis emerges from stealth with $48M to automate E&S insurance with agent brokers

  • Insurtech
  • Agentic Underwriting
  • Compliance

Polis deploys underwriting and brokerage agents for surplus lines, turning manual submission chaos into policy-graph decisions with human review on exceptions.

“Specialty insurance is still a fax-and-spreadsheet market. Agents only win if the board can defend every bind.”

— Founder

“Regulated buyers pay for systems that leave a trail — Polis was built for that constraint, not around it.”

— Helen Cho · Bain Capital Ventures
