In partnership with insurance carriers, Sure delivers insurance products such as rideshare and mobility insurance and more traditional P&C, A&H, renters, travel, rental car, individual items, smartphones, and commercial BOP and liability.

Sure co-founder and CEO Wayne Slavin said: “The funding by W. R. Berkley Corporation is a testament to our skill and overall ability to create value for insurers and customers unlike anyone else.”

The insurtech firm intends to invest the new funding to augment the SURE app (consumer product), the SURE Platform (for global consumer brands and carriers), along with SURE Connect (for affinity programs, e-commerce and fintech partners).
