Founder Shield is great. The firm has a ton of experience in a variety of industries. The team is very responsive and easy to communicate with. Shout out to Jonathan Selby for being so great to work with, as well as Wil.

The rates seem good (lower than what our CFO and Acct typically see), and the tech seems good as well, but FounderShield has really earned my trust through their customer success team. They are very responsive, empowered to solve sticky problems, and work quickly. I've also noticed that the same individuals tend to respond, which tells me, as a business owner, that they're good at taking care of good people.

Founder Shield made acquiring general liability and errors and omissions easy. They were quick to present me with options with minimal effort on my end.

Libby is by far the most attentive and responsive insurance agent I've ever had the pleasure to work with. As a business, it's important for us to give our clients the information they need in a timely manner, and working with a company like Founder Shield has been an integral part of our success in securing what we need within our tight Production Schedules. I'm so grateful we have such a great team on our side to help us with all our Insurance needs.

The best follow-up I have ever seen with any insurance group! Also, knowledgeable reps Vanessa and Noelle went out of their way to answer every question I had. They also got me a policy which was better and less money than my former company. 12 out of 10!!!!

FounderShield was the first that we contacted that knew about our type of business (social media creator) and exactly what we needed.

As a small, high-tech start-up, Founder Shield has been very helpful... from the early days helping us find the basic coverage, to today with more complex needs. And they are responsive when we need help with policy details or new coverage. We even find nuggets of value in their newsletters. All around we have been happy with our choice to partner with Founder Shield.

I've been working with FS for over a year on providing coverages for my private micromobility company. They have been incredible to work with, incredibly fast, and incredibly well connected in the industry.

We are a growing medical device company with a complicated mix of coverages needed for our business. Foundershield has gotten the job done for us every year even getting the costs lowered while raising the breath of coverage. A great group of people who are professional and helpful.

I've used Founder Shield across 3 different startups over the past 8 years. It is a fantastic partner in understanding, defining, and acquiring all insurance needs for you company. They regularly catch issues with other providers on misclassifications or incorrect risk profiling, resulting in significant savings for our company. I cannot recommend them enough.

I am not one to typically write a review but I felt compelled to with Founder Shield. As a person who has worked in HR for 10+ years and owned several businesses, I have worked with dozens of insurance companies but none have come close to impressing me as much as Founder Shield. I had come to the point to expect that working with insurance companies always had to be a nightmare. Founder Shield changed that. This company has such a seamless process from the start. I love the ease of the online portal. I love the courteous, prompt response of the employees from Advisors to Accounting. Signing documents is a breeze too! If I owned an insurance company, I would hire everyone I have worked with here, and that is a true rarity in today’s age where customer service is a lost and frankly ‘dead’ art. I would highly recommend this company to family, friends and business associates. 5 stars!

Founder Shield has made obtaining renewal quotes and new coverage for my business entity a smooth process. My account representatives are knowledgeable, efficient, and exceedingly responsive!

I am no insurance expert. Founder's shield was helpful, amazingly responsive, did not mind as many questions as I could lob at them, and provided very clear proposals that were amazingly easy to execute. I'm a completely satisfied client!

I was referred to Founder Shield by a friend who works with technology-based startups as I do. I have found working with bricks and mortar companies to be a pain - find one, go meet with them, sometimes several times, telephone calls, and then signing. Founder Shield was simple - go to the website, fill out the form, get a quote quickly, pay and Voila - you are insured. I need a highly rated insurer and they delivered. Could not be simpler. I highly recommend Founder Shield.

The Founder Shield team is undeniable a wonderful and very support partner. Not only are they 100% devoted to your company and insuring compliance, they provide continuously guidance as we are not experts in the insurance field. They work around the clock collaboratively and we appreciate all that they do for us. Rachel Jenkins is our dedicated account manager and she is extraordinary – I have never met a partner who goes above and beyond like she does to ensure all of our needs are met!
