Company info
- Shepherd is an AI-native commercial insurance platform transforming how high-hazard industries get covered.
- Our mission is to make risk frictionless for the builders and operators shaping the physical world - protecting progress from concept through construction and into decades of operation.
- The infrastructure behind the AI boom - data centers, semiconductor fabs, renewable energy assets - has to be built and insured.
- But traditional carriers weren't built for this speed:
- Complex commercial construction projects routinely wait weeks for a single quote
- Legacy carriers rely on static applications and disconnected systems
- Brokers chase carriers through calls, emails, and resubmissions
- We built Shepherd to solve that.
- Our AI performs the same underwriting workflows in seconds, and integrates real-time data from construction technology partners - Procore, Autodesk, OpenSpace, DroneDeploy, and others - to see risk as it actually exists, not just as it was reported on a static form.
- We're pursuing the most ambitious technical vision in commercial insurance: fully autonomous underwriting.
- We're closing in on the first fully agentic submission in the industry - email in, price out, no human intervention until the last mile.
- With Shepherd, safety, speed, and quality no longer trade off against one another - they compound.
- We're building:
- Faster decisions
