The UM way
Premium digital experiences that tell the complete story behind a business, beautifully, for brokers, underwriters, carriers, risk engineers, and owners alike.
Each product transforms a different moment in the insurance lifecycle into a premium digital experience.
Win new business. Tell a prospect's story before the quote is even on the table.
Turn a submission into a story underwriters actually want to read.
Show the value delivered over the year, and earn the renewal.
Own a vertical with a targeted campaign that positions you as the expert.
A high-impact pitch built to win the agency relationship itself.
Instead of assuming what people need, we ask the people who'd know. Your perspective shapes product, experience, and where UM goes next.
You're here because you're one of the people we most admire in this business, someone we'd want at this table regardless. This board is simply our favorite people in the industry: people we want to spend time with, learn from, and build alongside. That's the whole idea.
Why we want you
This isn't governance. It's perspective: a group of exceptional people from across the industry who genuinely enjoy building something together, and challenging each other's best ideas.
The culture. Honest. Collaborative. High trust. Lots of laughs. The goal is simple: advisors who show up because they enjoy it, not because they have to.
Every seat is a stakeholder.
Quarterly get-togethers, sometimes more often when there's an exciting project in motion.
Product reviews, brainstorming, market trends, roadmap, and honest industry feedback.
Influence direction across product, UX, sales, marketing, underwriting, and long-term vision.
Just as important is what it is not. No fundraising, no legal governance, no corporate structure, and no unnecessary obligations.
Great conversations, smart people, and a few laughs, in fun settings, done as well as we can do them. Because people make the difference.
Once or twice a year we get everyone together. Informal, no agenda, families welcome.
We're shooting for 2027 at Silvies Valley Ranch in eastern Oregon: reversible championship golf, goat caddies, the spa, and ranch-to-table dinners.
We want families in on it, whether it's the retreat or a happy hour. Relationships, not just roadmaps.
We won't call it networking. These are friends. We just find good reasons to get great people in one place.
Today the board is unpaid, built on perspective, not a paycheck. But that's the start, not the ceiling. The hope is that this grows into a compensated seat, and that as UM rises, the people who helped push and elevate it rise with it. The ask stays light: four or five times a year, an hour or two each. The rest is just good time with people you'd choose to be around anyway.

A UM golf hat, Yeti tumbler, and founding-member swag. A real thank-you for your time.
Your headshot, bio, and founding seat featured on the UM site.
Credits toward the UM deliverables of your choice, built to flex to your world.
This board comes from every corner of the business: underwriting, brokerage, loss control, and private industry outside insurance entirely. So the credits aren't one-size-fits-all. They put the actual product in your hands, show it in motion on something real, and give value back for the time you give the board.
Spin up a Prospect or Broker Pitch for the deal you're chasing, and watch how it lands.
Turn loss-control material into something people actually want to sit through.
Use an Industry Campaign to get a message out across your organization, clearly.
Built for your personal use and your own work. If your employer keeps a gift or conflict-of-interest policy, we'll make sure your credits fit cleanly within it. Think of it simply: credit for what you help us create.
A small thank-you for a founding seat. Pick your three. Tell us which trio you'd like and where to send it, and we'll handle the rest, once a year.
