Y-Risk offers products for the sharing and on-demand economy, with tailor-made coverages and usage-based pricing for commercial auto, general liability, property, inland marine, cyber and professional liability products. The company’s customer mix includes transportation-network companies, automobile-sharing platforms, on-demand-services platforms and space-sharing platforms. Y-Risk offers its insurance solutions through knowledgeable wholesale brokers and strategic retail agents.
“Allstar has been an excellent partner helping to bring the Y-Risk vision to life,” said Y-Risk CEO Bernie Horovitz. “Being part of The Hartford brings new opportunities and the support and resources we need to accelerate our growth. We are excited to further extend The Hartford’s reach to a customer base in the sharing and on-demand economy.”
Y-Risk will keep its brand name and remain located in Unionville, Conn. Y-Risk will operate independently of The Hartford’s core businesses and maintain its entrepreneurial culture, while still having the benefits of being part of a large, well-established insurer. Horovitz will report to Wilcox. All of the company’s employees have been hired by The Hartford. The purchase price will not have a material impact on The Hartford’s financial results.
