About Us

Herald builds digital infrastructure for commercial insurance. Today we provide developers a single API to get quotes for insurance products from multiple carriers. Tomorrow we want to build anything that helps developers connect their applications to the insurance ecosystem. We think buying insurance should be as easy as buying anything else online and we want your help!

We’re a team of insurtech veterans with experience at At-Bay, Kin, Semsee, and Insurify. We’ve raised over $8M in seed funding from top-tier VCs (Lightspeed, Afore, Underscore) along with a panel of insurtech founders (At-Bay, Marble), insurance executives (CRC), and early employees of other successful API infrastructure companies (Plaid, Alloy, Stytch).

Additional information

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are featured prominently in our company's values which you can read about below. Please reach out if you would benefit from any assistance throughout the application or have suggestions about how we can make our process more accessible and inclusive to all people.

One more note: We want to build an incredible team. As a result, we make a point of being open to surprising candidates who are the right person even though their experience doesn't exactly match up to our job description. Our job descriptions are gestures, not strict criteria. If you think you would be a great addition to our team, but might not fit the criteria perfectly, we still encourage you to apply! We recognize there are many transferable skills and traits that we may not have captured in this description and welcome all interested candidates to apply.

Life at Herald

We're just getting started and building our culture with purpose every day. One of the joys of joining a small company early is that you get to build that culture too. Come join us and help us make Herald an (even more) amazing place to work!

Actions we value

There are many actions that we hope for and even demand from members of our team: communicating honestly, working hard, behaving with integrity. These are expectations. But we value these five actions above and beyond the level of "baseline expectation." We believe that if we excel at these, our business will thrive. We’re betting the company on it.

Create a shared reality.

We each articulate the facts, assumptions, questions, and fears we hold about our business. We listen to and learn from others. We create a shared set of information before making decisions.

Get better every day.

We constantly seek ways to improve ourselves. We provide each other candid feedback coupled with support to elevate those around us. We refine how we work together to become more effective as a team.

Respect one another.

Our actions impact real people with distinct lives. We take the time to understand their perspectives and act in accordance with their humanity.

Build a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community.

We thrive when our team has a variety of lived experiences, values each other for their unique perspectives, and shares equitably in our mutual success. We invest in building an inclusive community for people who are oppressed because of their race, ethnicity, age, religion, gender expression, sexual orientation, physical ability, or socio-economic class.

(Remember that) we make the rules.

We once created the ways we work and therefore can change them. We do not default to momentum. We challenge ourselves to deconstruct the status quo and create a better future.
