Top Tier Carriers
Access to 100+ A-rated insurers globally, including US, London and Bermuda.
Aligned with your Goals
Designed around your contracts, regulatory obligations, economics, and customer promise.
We built URM after years spent litigating claims and seeing how insurance programs break under pressure. That experience shapes how we approach every engagement. We don't just place coverage, we structure it to withstand litigation, regulatory scrutiny, and disputes when the stakes are high.
URM advises tech companies and financial institutions (PE, VC, RIAs, fintechs) and complex businesses on insurance, risk transfer, and insurance-backed financial structures.
Our expertise goes beyond the traditional brokerage. We advise on complex placements, M&A, captives, contractual liability policies (CLIPs), and insurance-backed structures where insurance is part of the financial architecture of the business, and impacts balance sheet exposure, capital efficiency, and strategic flexibility.
If you operate in a high-stakes environment or need more than a conventional insurance placement, this is the level we are built for.

Why URM
Sophistication
Corporate insurance is our passion, not our next thing.
Founded by industry veteran and attorney Steven Barge-Siever, Esq., Upward Risk Management bridges the gap between insurtech innovation and legacy insurance expertise.
A year ago, we reimagined AI - not for back-office automation, but to create real client impact. Today, our technology puts intelligence and sophistication in your hands, helping you navigate risk with confidence.
Experience
With experience comes wisdom, and our team has brokered insurance for the largest of the Fortune 500 companies.
Our team spent a year downloading decades of intricate knowledge to our AI, and our goal is to conveniently provide our clients with deep knowledge and transparency.
Trust
As a true brokerage and fiduciary, our only obligation is to secure the best possible coverage for your business, not to push a specific policy or carrier like MGAs and direct insurers.
We analyze risk objectively, structure policies without conflicts of interest, and ensure that your insurance program is built for you.
