About WithCoverage:
WithCoverage replaces the traditional insurance brokerage with AI-supercharged risk management designed for the modern economy.
We partner with hundreds of high-growth, category-defining companies, including GoPuff, Eight Sleep, Bombas, Chomps, and Blank Street Coffee. Our clients span iconic consumer brands, hospitality leaders, GCs, advanced manufacturers, and next-generation defense contractors. They operate in complex risk environments and need a partner that can move at their speed.
Instead of a fragmented, manual brokerage stack, we have built a new category: elite risk advisors operating on top of proprietary technology. Our in-house Agency Management System gives our team and AI agents full visibility into policies, exposures, claims, billing, and commissions. This platform enables deep automation, better decisions, and a fundamentally higher standard of service.
WithCoverage was founded by JD Ross (co-founder of Opendoor) and Max Brenner (Bain, Compound). We have raised over $43M from leading investors including Sequoia, 8VC, Khosla Ventures and Crystal Venture Partners.
Our ambition is not to build a better brokerage. It is to redefine how risk is managed across the economy.

What We Do
The insurance brokerage industry is ready for a new standard: ambitious businesses often overpay for insurance, are inadequately protected, and are left with a non-transparent, disorganized experience. Most businesses don’t have an in-house Risk Management Team. That’s where we come in. WithCoverage provides ambitious businesses with a Modern Risk Management Solution. An expert team and powerful technology – designed to protect you today and as you scale. A few of our clients include: GoPuff, Chomps, Hungryroot, Blank Street, Bombas, Eight Sleep, Bluestone Lane, Salt & Straw, Kitsch, Happy Dad, and Elephante.
