About At-Bay
At-Bay is a quickly- growing cyber insurance startup out of Mountain View, CA.
What's cyber insurance, you ask? We're selling insurance to companies against cyber attacks. It's a pretty unique combination of fintech/insurtech and cyber security that takes us to new territories no man or woman has gone before.
We are an insurance company built by cyber security experts, because cyber risk requires a complete redesign of how risk is selected and priced. By better understanding cyber risk, we can create better insurance products and services. Cyber insurance is the fastest growing insurance line today, as companies become increasingly reliant on digital operations. So far, we have raised $19M from institutional and private investors, including Khosla Ventures and LightSpeed. We are currently 17 people in total split roughly evenly across our two offices in Mountain View, CA and Tel Aviv, Israel
