The story
Founded in 2022 as a digital-first commercial insurance broker for small businesses, Coverdash quickly pivoted its core go-to-market strategy toward an embedded insurance model — enabling platforms (payroll, banking, lending, e-commerce software) to offer business insurance as a native feature via a single API integration. By 2024–2025, the company had 150+ embedded partners covering 20M+ businesses, repositioning itself as the infrastructure layer for embedded SMB insurance rather than merely a direct-to-consumer insurtech broker.
