About Shepherd
Our mission is to create the first comprehensive platform that combines top-tier insurance offerings with world-class software so commercial businesses can manage risk and prevent losses. We started with the $10T commercial construction industry and are expanding to new verticals in 2025.
Our thesis is that technology can solve the sustainability challenges facing commercial insurance, and to accomplish this we're building a platform that incentivizes our clients to adopt the best tools when they buy our coverage. Across construction and other commercial markets, technology is available but fundamentally underutilized, despite the potential for improving loss outcomes and stopping this crisis.
To date, Shepherd has raised $20M+ from top tier VCs including Y-Combinator, Susa Ventures, Spark Capital, Costanoa Ventures, Era Ventures, Greenlight RE and Intact Ventures..

We have offices in San Francisco (HQ) and New York City. We love working together in person and are looking for candidates who can be onsite at our San Francisco HQ or NYC office.
