Coalition was founded in 2017 by Joshua Motta and John Hering, based on the thesis that cyber insurance, historically sold much like other traditional insurance lines with underwriting based primarily on lengthy self-reported questionnaires and limited ongoing engagement with policyholders between renewal periods, could be reimagined as an "active insurance" model that combines financial protection against cyber losses with proactive security tools and services designed to actually help prevent breaches from happening in the first place, an approach the founders argued would be both a better outcome for policyholders and a way to improve loss ratios for the insurer. Coalition's model includes continuous, non-intrusive scanning of policyholders' internet-facing infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, proactively alerting customers to security issues discovered through this monitoring, and providing access to security tools and incident response resources as part of the insurance relationship rather than only after a breach has already occurred and a claim is being filed. This proactive security bundling has become an important differentiator in a cyber insurance market that has faced significant loss volatility in recent years as ransomware attacks and other cyber incidents have grown more frequent and costly, making insurers increasingly focused on risk reduction rather than purely risk transfer. Coalition distributes its cyber insurance policies primarily through a network of independent insurance brokers and agents rather than direct-to-consumer sales, giving brokers a differentiated, technology-forward cyber product to offer their small and mid-sized business clients, a segment that has faced increasing ransomware targeting but often lacks dedicated in-house security teams. The company has grown its policyholder base substantially across the U.S. and other markets and has raised very substantial venture funding from investors including Durable Capital Partners, Whale Rock Capital, and Index Ventures, reaching a valuation exceeding $5 billion, competing with other technology-forward cyber insurance providers such as At-Bay and Cowbell Cyber.
