This meaningful collaboration spearheads embedded insurance innovation for more small business owners, agents\/brokers, and enterprise partners across North America.<\/p>\n<p>Foxquilt utilizes a full-stack underwriting platform, powered by data analytics, to recommend tailored coverage and pricing from Foxquilt\u2019s own proprietary commercial insurance products. Small business and micro-enterprise owners can also, in turn, quote and bind entirely online \u2013 creating a true end-to-end insurance journey. All of Foxquilt\u2019s IP has been built in-house, allowing for an agile response in integrating to each unique agent, broker, and enterprise partner\u2019s ecosystem \u2013 ultimately creating embedded success and enhanced underwriting profitability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a world where buyer autonomy and instant end-to-end results have been normalized, the insurance space has lacked the technology investment that affords this, now, table-stakes experience. Small business owners should have the opportunity to access fair value business insurance at any point of sale or trading experience with an enterprise partner,\u201d says Mark Morissette, Foxquilt CEO and Co-Founder. \u201cOur disciplined focus on innovating great technologies and products as the bridge between small business owners and their enterprise partners has translated into valuable, compounding returns of growth and underwriting profitability. This collaboration with Markel not only supports the distribution of Foxquilt\u2019s proprietary insurance products but also validates that an innovation leader like Markel believes in our forward-thinking vision of insurance as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Foxquilt and Markel both believe in empowering small business owners with innovative access to tailored coverage. By leveraging Markel\u2019s deep knowledge of small business insurance and Foxquilt\u2019s embedded insurance technology, their aligned synergies will continue support for business owners and the agents, brokers, and enterprises that they work with.<\/p>\n<p>Markel\u2019s Scott Whitehead, Managing Director, Markel Insurtech Underwriters, says, \u201cWe are very excited to collaborate with Foxquilt and support their efforts to remove friction from the insurance buying process for small business owners throughout the country. They have a very capable team of industry veterans and forward thinkers who share our philosophy of putting customers first and delivering products in a way that consumers have grown to expect and demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Backed by Markel, Foxquilt will deepen its presence in the United States, coinciding with a continued expansion of embedded partners, to ensure small business owners are met where and when they need insurance.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"smallhead\"><b>About Foxquilt<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Foxquilt is a leading North American Insurance Technology company focused on providing small business insurance through a seamless, embedded distribution model.
