Briza, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Canada, offers the insurance industry's first unified API designed specifically for small business commercial insurance. Known by its slogan, "The unified API connecting insurance to the world," Briza caters to a wide range of distributors, including independent agencies, brokerages, and national wholesalers.
The company's technology simplifies and accelerates the creation of digital marketplaces for procuring business lines such as BOP, GL, and WC. By utilizing Briza's API, distributors can bypass complex carrier API integrations, thereby drastically reducing time to market.
The company's latest investment was an $8.00M Series A funding round on 14 February 2021, backed by investors such as 500 Startups and the Investment Group of Santa Barbara. This investment underscores confidence in Briza's ability to deliver innovative solutions to both traditional and non-traditional insurance distributors.
