As the largest startup offering cyber insurance and proactive monitoring tools with more than 100,000 policyholders, Coalition insures against incidents like cyberattacks, email scams and accidental privacy violations. It partners with traditional carriers and reinsurers to write insurance, retaining about 10% of the financial risk. In 2025, it continued to expand internationally with its launch in Denmark, France and Sweden.

Coalition describes its mission as protecting the unprotected and continues hiring across insurance, security, engineering, and product functions.

Compensation

Public sources reviewed did not provide reliable company-wide compensation ranges. Individual job postings may contain role-specific ranges, but no validated general compensation policy was identified.

Product & market

Pricing

Insurance premiums and limits are quote-based and depend on customer risk, coverage, industry, size, and underwriting. Coalition Control and security-service pricing was not publicly disclosed in the sources reviewed.

Differentiators

  • —Combines cyber insurance with continuous security monitoring and risk-reduction tools.
  • —Uses an Active Insurance model intended to prevent or reduce losses rather than only reimburse them after an incident.
  • —Operates its own cyber-insurance carrier, Coalition Insurance Company, alongside relationships with global insurers and capacity providers.
  • —Coalition Control provides automated cyber alerts, threat intelligence, guidance, and third-party risk-management capabilities.
  • —Wirespeed adds automated MDR that triages and initiates mitigation of detections in milliseconds.
  • —Uses proprietary cyber-risk, claims, threat-intelligence, and external-attack-surface data to support underwriting and prevention.
