UpSure overview
How UpSure works
Managing cover with UpSure
What we cover
Specialist practices. One brief: complex risk, done properly.
We go deep where the risk is most non-standard — and where the wrong broker quietly costs you more than the wrong cover.
Startups & Scaleups
We design programs that match where you are now and where the cap table says you're going. No oversold cover, no last-minute scrambles before a raise.
Technology & AI
Standard tech wordings weren't written for foundation models, agentic systems or platform-level dependency. Ours are.
SaaS Insurance
SaaS companies need cover that understands subscriptions, implementation work, data, uptime, API dependencies and customer indemnities.
Fintech Insurance
Fintech risk is not just software risk. It combines money movement, data, regulation, counterparties, directors and customer trust.
AI Company Insurance
AI companies need brokers who can explain model, data, dependency and contract risk in language underwriters can price.
Smart Manufacturing
Industry 4.0 has rewritten the risk profile of manufacturing. We broker programs that reflect connected operations, not just bricks and machinery.
Venture Capital & Private Equity
We broker for GPs, management companies and their portfolios — aligning cover across the stack so founders get better terms on day one.
International Expansion
Crossing borders changes everything — admitted policies, tax, sanctions, data, employment. We design global programs that actually hold together.
High Net Worth & Founders
When the company is the wealth, the personal risk picture changes. We design private client programs around founders, operators and family offices.
CyberCert Gold
Benefits beyond just the cover. Join the UpSure community.
Eligible UpSure cyber clients can access a $395 CyberCert Gold SMB1001 Level 3 credit while arranging cover for breach response, ransomware, privacy liability and digital interruption.
