Online small business insurance company Huckleberry announced a partnership with Berkshire Hathaway GUARD today.
As part of the partnership, Huckleberry joins Berkshire Hathaway GUARD’s curated network of independent agents and brokers across the U.S. For Huckleberry, it’s the largest partnership with an insurance carrier the company has inked since it was founded in 2017.
Huckleberry offers a range of coverage for U.S. small businesses in need of insurance. Coverage types include general liability, workers’ compensation, business owners’ policies, business interruption, liquor liability, and more. Five of its policies, including including cyber, automotive insurance, and umbrella insurance, were added just last year.
What’s unique about Huckleberry, which offers coverage in 45 U.S. states, is its paper-free application experience that offers an estimate in a matter of minutes. And because the startup doesn’t charge brokerage fees, it not only provides a streamlined approached, but also a more competitive rate. instant coverage
The San Francisco-based company is in the process of moving its headquarters across the country to New York and also has plans to open a second headquarters location in Columbus, Ohio. As part of this growth, Huckleberry aims to boost its workforce to 100 people by the start of next year.
Founded by Bryan O’Connell , Huckleberry has raised $22 million. Its most recent investment was a $22 million Series A round led by Tribe Capital.
