What is Openly and what makes it a unique insurance provider?
Openly is a technology-enabled, premium homeowners insurance provider founded in Boston in 2017. The company is designed specifically to support independent insurance agents with a focus on higher-value homes. Unlike direct-to-consumer digital models, Openly partners closely with independent agents to ensure complex assets are properly protected. Their platform allows agents to generate a quote and eligible rate using just three questions, combining tech efficiency with the security of working with a local professional.
Why should someone consider Openly for their career?
For top-tier talent looking for professional growth, Openly offers an environment where employees can quickly see the direct impact of their work. Because the company is growing rapidly and scales around a collaborative, problem-solving culture, team members aren't just cogs in a machine—they actively contribute to operational improvements, enablement functions, and product execution. They value both deep subject matter expertise and how teams develop together.
How does Openly collaborate with its agent network?
Openly maintains dedicated agent councils designed explicitly to unearth friction points and operational hurdles. Instead of seeking validation or praise, leadership uses these meetings to gather a direct to-do list from agents. In subsequent meetings, Openly presents accountability scorecards demonstrating that the vast majority of agent-reported issues have been directly resolved with new solutions and workflow improvements.
How is Openly integrating AI into its operations?
Openly explores artificial intelligence to eliminate repetitive busy work and streamline processes for both sales teams and customer claims. By utilizing AI for tasks like handling first notices of loss and removing administrative friction, Openly empowers its workforce to focus on high-value human interactions, strategic execution, and meaningful agent support.
