About Fulcrum

Insurance runs the real world

Everything that matters is insured - it’s how businesses take risks, grow, and recover when things go wrong.

The people who actually make that possible are brokers. They are the reason we can pursue ambitious projects such as transatlantic shipping & space stations, but also have the everyday things we take for granted. Your home, school, office, and any building you have ever entered exists only because someone insured the workers who built it.

Fulcrum is building best in class AI tools & agents for insurance brokerages. Our team members have worked on deeply technical problems and consulted for fortune 500 companies. We are bringing that level of talent and craft to an industry mired by legacy systems. We work really hard, have a strong bias for action, obsess over every detail of what we do, in order to deliver beautiful experiences to account managers and producers. Across America, we have saved brokers thousands of hours of grunt work every week.

We help brokers insure the real world.

Everything that matters is insured - it’s how businesses take risks, grow, and recover when things go wrong.
