Venture Capital
Our venture capital liability policy offers is an effective, comprehensive way to transfer and mitigate your most significant liabilities. It combines the following four coverages into one policy:
- Management Liability Insurance
- Management Indemnification Insurance
- Outside Directorship Liability Insurance
- Professional Services Liability (Errors and Omissions) Insurance
Client Anecdote: A firm was closing on its initial multi-million dollar round of venture capital. The NVCA referred them to us. The firm’s managing partners were concerned about finalizing their investors and ensuring a smooth process. New funding would mean new exposures. Not only were we able to provide them correct coverages, but our exclusive VCAP and professional liability policies also significantly reduced their premiums.
