Vouch is a tech-driven insurance provider built exclusively for startups and high-growth companies. Since its founding at Y Combinator in 2019, Vouch has reimagined business insurance, replacing outdated manual processes with digital-first coverage tailored to the unique risks founders face from formation through IPO. Backed by leading VCs and trusted by industry leaders – including YC, Brex, Carta, and WeWork – Vouch combines deep startup expertise with proprietary technology and the ability to underwrite and customize its own policies. This allows Vouch to offer flexible, founder-friendly protection quickly and efficiently, supporting thousands of innovative teams as they build the future.
Vouch enables early-stage and growth-stage startups to customize coverage from more than a dozen purpose-built insurance lines, with clear, simple online workflows and rapid underwriting. Coverage activates in as little as 24 hours, with instant access to certificates and the ability to update or adjust limits as your startup changes.
Policies are tailored for verticals such as SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, consumer, gaming, life sciences, VR/AR, healthcare, and more, providing protection for data breaches, regulatory events, vicarious liability, and product errors.
Startups choose Vouch because it delivers smart, founder-centric insurance without the usual friction, hidden fees, or industry jargon. Vouch’s policies are truly tailored – based on funding status, stage, industry, and growth plans – so startups aren’t forced into one-size-fits-all options built for legacy businesses. The platform is built for fast-moving teams: digital onboarding, rapid certificate delivery, and next-day changes make Vouch agile enough for venture-backed companies scaling quickly. As both insurance carrier and technology innovator, Vouch can underwrite, update, and manage policies in real time, responding to emerging risks like AI and distributed work that traditional insurers miss. Most importantly, Vouch’s advisors understand the needs and pressure points of funded startups – delivering regulatory alignment, contract support, and peace of mind so founders can raise capital, make hires, and accelerate growth without unexpected obstacles.
