Overview
Pathpoint is a digital wholesale broker for the excess and surplus (E&S) insurance market. It connects retail agents with multiple A-rated E&S carriers through a proprietary platform, enabling agents to receive bindable quotes in minutes for small commercial risks such as General Liability, Commercial Property, Excess Casualty, and Cyber Liability. The platform supports a short dynamic application, e-signature, and 24/7 agent access, and Pathpoint earns commissions on policies bound through the platform while giving agents free access to more carriers and offering carriers better market reach and data insights. Licensed in all 50 states and operating as a Lloyd's of London coverholder, Pathpoint aims to simplify and scale E&S distribution for agents and carriers, expanding market access and improving underwriting efficiency.
