PLACEMENT SPECIALIST

WHO WE ARE

Pathpoint is the full-service E&S wholesaler that combines smart technology and expert E&S guidance to give brokers and agents unprecedented visibility and control. Traditional wholesalers offer market access without technology. Insurtech platforms offer technology without expert guidance. We do both: an in-house team of specialized E&S experts engaged at every step, paired with technology that automates the end-to-end process. Since we started trading in 2021, broad market access has helped thousands of brokers grow into bigger accounts and broader books, and we are just getting started (learn more https://www.pathpoint.com/about).
