Launched in 2021, we are a technology-enabled, fast-growing, coastal specialty insurer. We focus on profitable underwriting of single family, condominium and commercial residential policies in the P&C industry in coastal states along the Atlantic seaboard through our insurance subsidiary, Slide Insurance Company (“SIC”). SIC is licensed in Florida and South Carolina. In February 2025, we acquired an additional insurance subsidiary, Slide Specialty Insurance Company ("Slide Specialty"), which is licensed in New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island and South Carolina. We utilize our differentiated technology and data-driven approach to focus on market opportunities that are underserved by other insurance companies. We acquire policies both from inorganic block acquisitions and subsequent renewals, as well as new business sales through a combination of independent agents and our direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel, through which we sell our insurance products directly to end consumers, without the use of retailers, brokers, agents or other intermediaries. We do not depend on any one key product or product line within the coastal specialty homeowners and commercial residential insurance market. We control all aspects of our value chain, including technology, underwriting, actuarial, distribution, claims and risk management which allows us to maximize profitability while maintaining disciplined underwriting standards.
