In 2018, Pathpoint was founded to tackle a problem that no one else in the industry was actively aiming to resolve - how to streamline small commercial E&S. Other companies were tackling a similar problem for admitted markets, but non-admitted seemed to be too much of a gray area.
Here is where Pathpoint saw an opportunity. By taking on the challenge of building technology to address the $52 billion surplus lines market that would reduce quoting from days or weeks to just minutes, enable agents to ditch the tedious process of filling out ACORD forms and provide access to accounts 24/7, Pathpoint has quickly grown to be the outstanding leader in providing a stellar agent experience by making E&S placement fast and easy.
A finalist in the 2022 Business Insurance “Wholesale Broker of the Year” award, Pathpoint has achieved more than 5X growth over the last year alone. And, we’re just getting started. Here is a summary of the product releases and enhancements we’ve rolled out over the last few months:
