About
Openly is a Cleveland-based insurtech company that provides premium homeowners and dwelling insurance through independent insurance agents. Openly targets the high-value home segment — homes with replacement costs above $400,000 — where coverage gaps and cumbersome underwriting processes are common frustrations for agents and policyholders. The company offers a digital quoting platform that delivers bindable quotes to agents in under 60 seconds, significantly faster than traditional carriers' multi-day workflows, and provides broad coverage with higher limits and fewer exclusions than standard homeowners policies. Openly operates as an MGA (managing general agent) backed by Arch Insurance Group's balance sheet, combining insurtech speed with carrier-grade financial stability. Founded in 2018, Openly raised over $100M and has expanded rapidly across multiple states. It competes with Hippo, Kin Insurance, and traditional carriers in the premium homeowners market.
