“Atalaya and Culpeper value what we’ve built to date, as well as Mosaic’s future growth potential, and they bring additional diverse financial-sector expertise that will be critical for the next stage of our journey.”
Established in 2021, Mosaic focuses on underwriting seven products namely cyber, transactional liability, political risk, political violence, environmental liability, financial institutions, and professional liability in seven regions.
