Our Story
Convene was launched in 2025 with a singular belief:
The strongest insurance platforms are built by bringing the right people, ideas, and disciplines together — on purpose.
The name Convene is not accidental. It reflects how we were formed and how we operate: assembling deep underwriting experience, modern technology, and trusted market relationships into a unified platform designed to solve complex specialty risks. In a market crowded with speed, shortcuts, and surface-level solutions, Convene was built deliberately — engineered for clarity, discipline, and long-term relevance. We are your partners in risk.
The why behind Convene is rooted in connection as a source of strength.
We believe better outcomes happen when underwriting judgment is aligned with data, when brokers and carriers are true partners, and when programs are built collaboratively rather than in isolation. Convene exists to create that intersection — where insight meets execution, and where structure supports scale without sacrificing integrity. Because nothing enduring is built alone, and nothing exceptional is built without intention.

Every decision we make is shaped by a clear sense of purpose.
That purpose guides how we underwrite, how we partner, and how we build. It shows up in the risks we choose to engage, the solutions we commit to, and the relationships we protect over the long term. At Convene, purpose isn’t a tagline — it’s the standard against which every decision is measured.
