Delegance Brokerage raised $3.1M in pre-seed funding, betting that commercial insurance is ripe for the kind of disintermediation that has reshaped other industries.
The company runs an AI-enabled brokerage that it says cuts annual premiums by 10-20% and brokerage-related service costs by 60-100%. The round drew a long list of backers: Grit Capital Partners, Core VC, Gilgamesh Ventures, Outside VC, and angels including Billy Black, Matt Kuntz, Steve Presley, Kelly Ludwick, Robert C. "Burr" Johnson, Chris Black, Claire Angel, Trinity Walker, Marcus Newland, and Michael Cushmac.
