Business Development Representative, Horizon - San Francisco, United States - Vouch

    Default job background
    Description

    About Vouch:
    Insurance... sounds slow, old-fashioned, and unexciting. Exactly. Insurance is broken, and it's failing fast-moving, innovative startups.

    Vouch is a new, technology-first insurance company backed with $160M in funding from world-class investors. Like Stripe for payments or Brex for credit cards, Vouch is creating the go-to business insurance for high-growth companies.

    We're doing this by making insurance fast, responsive, and focused on our customers -high-growth and innovative companies.

    Instead of printed PDF applications and week-long waits, Vouch is building new technology to solve real problems, writing policies that actually cover relevant startup scenarios, and designing simple experiences in an otherwise frustrating industry.

    What does a work environment look like at Vouch?

    Vouch is a Virtual First Workplace with SF, Chicago, and NYC office locations.
