We are Braven Partners, an early-stage investment firm targeting breakthrough innovations in large, regulated sectors, beginning with financial services, insurance, and healthcare. At Braven, we run regular Innovation Programs that bring together sector analysts, experts, and advisors to surface new technological and commercial solutions to meaningful problems. Our latest Innovation Program is converting to a new stealth company launch, “BRVN-01,” Inprobable.com, a first-of-its-kind AI platform to manage insurable commercial enterprise business risk.
We seek an experienced and entrepreneurial early stage team who will serve as Head of Specialty Insurance (remote - anywhere in US). They will be responsible for using their experience and insights to shape our specialty line product strategy from concept to customer as well as building strategic partnerships and alliances with brokers and other relevant players in the industry. This role is initially an individual contributor and expected to be extremely hands-on, using a lean approach consistent with a seed round startup.
This is a unique opportunity for an exceptional leader passionate about disrupting the commercial insurance industry to join in the very early stages of building an innovative new company. As part of the Braven portfolio, Inprobable will benefit from a dedicated cobuild team focused on accelerating and supporting its success. It is imperative that early team members are passionate contributors who bring a founder/start-up mentality. The journey is just beginning, and your unique contributions will profoundly shape our trajectory.
