Launching and running a startup is risky. There are key milestones in your startup’s journey where you need to manage your risk through proper coverage. Learn about risk management programs that will help you protect what you’ve already built for your startup, and are building in the future.
Most entrepreneurs are forward-thinking and risk tolerant by nature, so they’re not thinking about insurance for their startup in those early days. It’s usually not until an attorney, advisor, or maybe even a board member reminds them that they need to protect their assets, that insurance enters the discussion.
There are also a number of risk management strategies, including security controls, that will protect your startup while making you a more attractive company to investors and underwriters.
Bryan Murray, Technology Risk Advisor at Bender Insurance Solutions, will walk through a few company milestones and risk management programs that will help you protect what you’ve already built, and are building in the future.
What we’ll cover:
- Risk management strategies
- Company milestones to review insurance needs
- What security controls to implement
- How to make your startup attractive to investors and underwriters
- Cyber and tech risks for startups and technology companies
