Elevate Specialty

CEO and founder Mickey Attia has over 20 years of leadership experience in the insurance sector, with a background in expanding operations and driving product innovation. COO and founder Robin Stagg has over 17 years of expertise in design thinking and lean process design within claims functions, along with more than a decade of experience integrating startups into large insurers.

Elevate Specialty operates as a full-stack MGA, aiming to address the shortcomings of traditional insurance models where products are often treated as add-ons, leading to poor customer engagement and value. The company's business model is built on designing "native" insurance products that are seamlessly integrated into environments where customers can easily purchase and benefit from them. Their approach is centered on four core principles: being native by design, data-obsessed, agile and tech-driven, and customer-centric. By utilizing a microservices architecture, open APIs, and AI-powered claims automation, the company can launch new products in under 60 days.

The firm's product portfolio is designed for both individuals and businesses and includes a range of embedded and specialty insurance solutions. Key offerings include Legal Expenses Insurance, Income Protection for Renters, Cyber Insurance, Home Emergency, and Personal Accident cover. These products are integrated into platforms and services that customers use daily, aiming to make insurance feel like a natural part of their experience. The company partners with insurers, other MGAs, brokers, and digital platforms to distribute its products. It offers flexibility by allowing partners to use Elevate's A-rated capacity or their own.
