Empowering commercial insurance brokers and policyholders to better
predict and mitigate risk.
At Corvus, we build Smart Commercial Insurance Products: policies built on data-driven underwriting.
We constantly make our products smarter by applying findings from new sources of data analyzed with machine learning and AI techniques. We deliver novel insights to our broker partners, helping to make them smarter about complex risks their clients face. And we’re transforming an industry that lacks transparency by informing the insurance buyer, helping them to be smarter about practices to mitigate risk and prevent loss.
Like our namesakes the Corvids, the family of birds revered as the most intelligent on earth, we believe we stand a breed apart.
A decade ago, Marc Andreessen proclaimed “software is eating the world” and today that holds true. Yet as software has become ubiquitous, so has the threat of exploit by cyber criminals. Anyone connected to digital infrastructure is at risk, and today, that’s everyone.
In the face of this abundant risk, the insurance industry is paralyzed. Centuries-old practices preclude the use of new insights. Underwriting with lengthy paper applications still rules the day. And the industry remains silent on cyber coverage, leading to ambiguity for brokers and policyholders.
At Corvus we aim to affirm Cyber coverage in all our products, using best-in-class data science and technology capabilities to embrace this global threat.
The quality of data you collect dictates the quality of your insights. At Corvus, we are constantly evaluating new sources of data, and analyzing the sources we believe will provide novel insight. The results of this applied-AI process can be seen in Corvus’s Dynamic Loss Prevention® reports and our easy-to-use tools to help brokers understand complex risks and educate their clients.
Our holistic measure of a company’s IT security. Based on the Corvus ScanTM, it is a key component in our underwriting team’s proprietary process, enabling customized price and coverage options.
Vulnerabilities in a company’s IT security profile represent exposure to certain cyber risks. In our DLP report, we map these risks to insurance exposure groups that brokers are familiar with.
Billions of data points collected from sensors on millions of shipments provide a clearer view of patterns and trends in risk for cargo shipments. Learn more about Data Science at Corvus.
The Product Team at Corvus has a single goal: to empower brokers. We aim to build intuitive tools that reduce administrative work for brokers and provide them with insight to better understand, and inform their clients on, complex risk.
Our platform was built on direct feedback and advice from brokers who use it. We’ve honed the experience to be easy for brokers and their clients to work with.
Crows set the bar in smarts among birds, and at Corvus we pursue the same standard. Our platform has been engineered for brokers with an aim to provide best in class software for brokers in the areas of ease of use, self-service, automation and speed.
By leveraging third party data to inform our underwriting, we are able to keep our applications short. We only ask as many questions as we need to in order to provide a bindable quote. Most brokers complete our application in under a minute.
Short on time? Need a quote on a Saturday? Looking to impress a client with best-in-class service? We’ve got you covered. With just a few questions, we are able to provide you with a bindable quote and Corvus Score within just minutes on most accounts.
With their total brain-to-body mass ratio
being equal to that of great apes and cetaceans,
corvids have incredible cognitive abilities and have earned the
nickname ‘feathered apes’.
