01 · The difference

Specialty markets that feel like a direct appointment.

Three things, done well, for retail agents and for the carriers we partner with.

01

The team moves like your own.

A dedicated broker on every account. No rotating inboxes, no lost threads. The same person you started with closes the file.

DedicatedTaven · 001
02

Quotes in hours, not weeks.

Submission intake, triage, and market selection happen in the background, so you hear back while the account is still warm.

FastTaven · 002
03

The accounts others can't place.

Cat-exposed property, thin-file professional, distressed cyber. The submissions everyone else calls tough. We call them the work.

Hard risksTaven · 003
02 · How it works

A simpler path between a retail agent and the right market.

Four steps from submission to bound. No logins, no portals, no templates to fill. The same four people stay with the account from intake through delivery.

01 / Intake

Send us the submission.

Email, ACORD, screenshot, one sentence. We meet you where your workflow already is.

~ 0 min
02 / Placement

We go to the right markets.

Curated to the risk, not sprayed across a list. Direct E&S, Lloyd's, specialty MGAs.

~ same day
03 / Transparency

Every thread, live.

Status, carrier responses, open questions. One view of the file, shared with your team.

~ real-time
04 / Bind

Quote, bind, move on.

Terms compared side by side. Clean binders, policy checked, delivered.

~ hours, not weeks
03 · The file

One view of the account. Shared with your team.

Every submission lives as a single file. Status, quotes, subjectivities, markets. Shared with everyone who touches the account. No "checking in" emails. No guessing where it stands.

01

Live, not a status email.

Real-time marketing report. Carriers responding, subjectivities open, quotes landing. One source, updated as it happens. No inbox archaeology.

LiveTaven · 031
02

Everyone, same page.

Producers, managers, auditors, carriers all on one file. No PDF ping-pong, no stale attachments, no "forward the latest." The file is the latest.

04 · Coverage

Specialty across every class of E&S.

A slice of our appetite, not the whole list. If it trades in the specialty market, we place it.

05 · In their words
"I sent them a contractor's property submission at 4pm on a Thursday. Had a quote back with subjectivities the next morning. That used to take a week."
"What I like is they actually answer the email. If it's a pass, they tell me why in the same thread so I can move on. No chasing, no follow-ups."
"Turnaround is the thing. I'm not waiting four days to find out a market isn't interested. It's quoted, or I have a clean answer by end of day."
