Vouch

Vouch is a San Francisco, California business insurance broker and risk advisor purpose-built for high-growth startups and the venture ecosystem. Founded in 2018 by Sam Hodges and Travis Hedge and backed by investors including Ribbit Capital, SVB Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Y Combinator, and MS&AD Ventures, Vouch offers a tailored portfolio of commercial coverages — Directors & Officers (D&O), Errors & Omissions (E&O / Tech E&O / Professional Services E&O), Cyber, Employment Practices Liability (EPL), General Liability, Business Property, Fiduciary, Crime, and contract-required coverages — sold to technology, healthcare and life sciences, financial services, and professional services companies. The business model is broker-of-record commissions and, since 2021, a Vouch-owned insurance carrier underwriting select lines. Vouch is best known in the developer community for its embedded insurance program, which lets ecosystem partners (Carta, StartupOS, and similar founder platforms) pre-fill applications, surface quotes, and bind coverage inline via Vouch's partner API. Public developer documentation, an OpenAPI specification, and a self-serve sandbox are not exposed; the partner API and Vouch Corporate documentation (hosted on GitBook) are gated to onboarded venture, technology, and service-provider partners contracted through hello@vouch.us.

Vouch is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Insurance, Business Insurance, Commercial Insurance, Insurtech, and Startup Insurance.
