Authentic helps insurance brokers create better insurance products for their clients. We provide the technology platform and behind-the-scenes support that lets brokers build custom insurance solutions for specific industries or customer groups. Think of us as the operating system that powers these specialized insurance offerings. For brokers, this means they can offer unique products their competitors don't have, earn more money, and spend less time on paperwork and administrative tasks. We handle the complex (technology, compliance, and partnerships with highly-rated insurance carriers), so they can focus on serving their customers and growing their business.

What We Do
We empower community leaders (associations, SaaS companies, affinity groups, etc.) to launch captive insurance programs. Learn more about Authentic and captive insurance on our website! Insurance was a simple structure for communities to pool assets for a rainy day. At Authentic, we’re returning insurance to these roots. Modern communities exist outside of geographic boundaries; our platform uses technology to restore the simplicity of insurance.
