Backed by over $15 million in venture funding from partners like FirstMark, Slow Ventures, and GPs at Aquiline Capital Partners, Authentic delivers innovative insurance solutions supported by A-rated carriers, Everspan and AmTrust. Our team includes seasoned experts from Aquiline, Amazon, Next, and Canary, combining deep insurance and tech expertise.
