About WithCoverage:

WithCoverage is reimagining risk management and insurance for the modern economy. We protect the companies building the future—brands like GoPuff, Eight Sleep, Harry’s, Bombas, AG1, and Blank Street Coffee—so they can move fast without compromise.

Instead of a stale brokerage model, we’ve built a new category: world-class risk advisors powered by proprietary technology. From next-generation defense contractors and advanced manufacturers to iconic consumer brands and hospitality leaders, we partner with ambitious businesses to give them the confidence to scale.

Founded by JD Ross (co-founder of Opendoor) and Max Brenner (Compound, Bain), WithCoverage is disrupting a trillion-dollar industry from the inside out. We grew 10x last year while staying cash-flow positive, with backing from 8VC, Crystal Venture Partners, and other top investors.

We’re also the only brokerage that has built its own Agency Management System from scratch, giving us full control of our operations and a platform to automate more and more of the business with AI. It’s the foundation for transforming how risk is managed across the economy.

 

Why Join Us:

• Grow Faster – We’re scaling fast, giving you outsized opportunities to learn, lead, and shape your career and the future of the company.
• Work That Matters – We protect the world’s most innovative brands: consumer icons, hospitality leaders, next-gen defense contractors, and US manufacturers.
• Re-define an Industry – Insurance is one of the largest, slowest-moving markets. We are rewriting the playbook with proprietary technology, automation, and AI.
• Financial Rewards – We hire the best and invest in you. That means competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and great benefits. We believe strongly in internal promotion, and lay out a plan for your career growth.
