Ledgebrook is an InsurTech MGA on a mission to bring Specialty insurance into the modern era. Burdened with legacy technology and processes, the industry has not kept pace with the speed of innovation seen in other sectors. Positioned at the cutting edge of the next generation of InsurTech, Ledgebrook offers the best of both worlds: innovative world-class technology deployed by a leadership team armed with decades of insurance expertise. Our long-term vision is to become a diversified full stack Specialty re/insurer competing with legacy carriers in product lines & markets across the globe. To get there Ledgebrook will build our premium base by rolling out a new Specialty product every ~6 months until we prove enough traction to raise a balance sheet, become a full stack carrier and eventually compete in the reinsurance markets as well. Our initial product will be domestic primary and excess GL E&S policies sourced via wholesale brokers. At Ledgebrook everything we do is driven by our culture: Care, Strive, Thrive Together. To succeed in modernizing the industry, we must first succeed in changing the way we do business. Talent density is our north star—fewer, better people working together as one. To that end weve replaced all individual incentives with generous equity packages—we play as a team, we win as a team. Everyone benefits handsomely from Ledgebrooks success. Ledgebrook is a fully-remote US based company backed by top venture investors including Brand Foundry & American Family Ventures.

Thats why Rushlight Ventures (RLV) originated as a venture studio in 2020 within Cornerstone Research Group (CRG), its sister company and a renowned government contractor for more than 25 years. Soon after forming the venture studio, leadership realized that CRG was not the only company grappling with transition and monetization difficulties, and RLV was spun off as an independent entity in 2021. Today, RLV successfully bridges the gap between RDT&E and commercialization through its seasoned team. RLV staff possess decades of experience in new technology development and commercialization, aerospace and defense RDT&E, new company formation, financing, licensing, and mergers and acquisitions.
