“We are excited that such a renowned carrier … is partnering with us as a lead capacity provider – a clear endorsement of our strategy and innovative offering,” said Loadsure CEO Johnny McCord. “Tokio Marine Kiln’s progressive underwriting approach and outlook on the future of our market dovetail neatly with our own. We look forward to working together on the opportunities [its] support makes increasingly possible.”
Tokio Marine Kiln’s capacity backing comes at a time of significant growth for Loadsure, which closed an $11 million series A funding round earlier last year. It was founded in 2018 as the insurance industry’s first digital-native insurtech MGA and Lloyd’s coverholder. It was established in direct response to the freight underinsurance crisis, providing an end to it with data-powered, AI-priced, and on-demand cargo cover.
