IT Support Engineer
About Vouch:
Insurance... sounds slow, old-fashioned, and unexciting. Exactly. Insurance is broken, and it's failing fast-moving, innovative startups.
Vouch is a technology-first insurance company, backed with $100 million in funding from world-class investors. Like Stripe for payments or Brex for credit cards, Vouch is creating the go-to business insurance for startups.
We're doing this by making insurance fast, responsive, and focused on our customer - startup founders. Instead of printed PDF applications and week-long waits, Vouch is re-architecting insurance products and systems to write policies that actually cover relevant startup scenarios and designing simple experiences in an otherwise frustrating industry.
