How the IroinPoint Story Started With a Good Idea
The IronPoint story begins with two friends discussing ways to help small insurance agencies gain more success. It’s now a fast-growing digital insurance operation.
2021
Launched MexicoCovered.com
After adding online quote & buy directly on the IronPoint site, we discovered there is a broad appetite for Mexico Trousim products online. We added an additional Mexico insurance partner, Mexico Insurance Online, and expanded our products to include GNP, El Aguila, and ABA Chubb Seguros. With additional online capacity, we launched MexicoCovered.com.
2017
Launched ComparisonQuote.com
With the founder’s previous career experience working with GEICO and Esurance, there was always an appetite to allow consumers to quote home & auto insurance online. In 2017, IronPoint Insurance Services, LLC launched a comparison home and auto insurance platform, ComparisonQuote.com. On ComparisonQuote.com, consumers can compare the rates of our partner insurance carriers online before they decided to purchase.
The Integration of External Applications
With the launch of ComparisonQuote.com, we dug deeper into technology. We integrated HubSpot into our tech stack, incorporated service ticket tracking, and launched a mobile app.
2014
A new direction for the agency
Seeking to diversify our carrier relationships and to expand quickly into new states, IronPoint teams up with Agents United and joins forces with SIAA.
Expansion of our carrier portfolio
With our partnership with Agent United and SIAA, IronPoint was able to expand its carrier partnerships to include Nationwide, Liberty Mutual, Berkshire Hathaway GUARD, The Hartford, CSE, AmTrust, and Chubb. Additionally, we expanded into the states of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, and Utah.
2010
First carriers & member agencies contracted
The IronPoint story cannot be told properly without its insurance carrier partners. We knew we needed financially secure partners, with broad personal and commercial products, and a reputation for delivering excellent service. We found these partners in MetLife Auto & Home, Safeco, Travelers, and Progressive. After securing our foundational carriers, we began recruiting member agencies. Our journey began.
We founded IronPoint Insurance Services, LLC
The IronPoint story starts with its founders Scott Boren and Shiv Gupta. Both worked in leadership roles with a large, premium insurance carrier, and thought it was a good idea to help smaller insurance agencies gain access to their experience and premium-branded, financially secure insurance carriers. In 2010, IronPoint was originally founded offering independent insurance agents the ability to get access to insurance carriers and partner with a larger agency.
