What We Do
Kalepa is the leader in delivering Efficient Frontier commercial insurance.
Insurers find it hard to understand the true exposures of businesses and to profitably provide them with policies that reflect that true risk. SMBs struggle to find the coverage they need and are often left underinsured, uninsured, or paying higher rates than needed.
Our Copilot technology platform and Copilot-powered MGA combine Human and Artificial Intelligence to address this foundational issue head on, bringing commercial insurance to the Efficient Frontier where businesses and insurers work with a single version of the truth and collaborate to mitigate risk. It’s the way insurance should work.
