Our mission

At Briza, our mission is to connect commercial insurance to the world. We do this by unlocking software developers to create great customer experiences for the digital placement of commercial insurance policies.

We are democratizing commercial insurance APIs

Briza is democratizing commercial insurance APIs through the action of allowing them to be consumed by as broad an audience as possible.

Together, Briza helps partners deliver commercial insurance digitally, wherever small businesses live their lives online.

Team

Who we are

Our co-founders come from ideal backgrounds to address the opportunity presented by APIs which unlock access to small business underwriting models. Ben Munro spent over two decades leading underwriting teams at AIG, Chubb, and Markel - while his co-founder Mike McDerment started FreshBooks - one of the world’s most successful SaaS platforms providing online accounting and bookkeeping solutions to small businesses.

Your technology partner

Briza is the industry's first unified API for small business commercial insurance in the United States. We are a technology partner for distributors including independent agencies, brokerages, and national wholesalers seeking to build modern, efficient digital marketplaces for the procurement of small business lines like BOP, GL, WC, PL, Cyber, and more. We allow developers to tap into one API and access many carriers' automated underwriting models so they can easily enable quoting, binding and payment functionalities within their user experiences.
