Amelia Risk vs StartupInsurance.ai Tech E&O Insurance

Amelia Risk is a brokerage, not an insurer, and it places Technology Errors & Omissions as its own listed policy line, separate from the general liability and umbrella grouping on its policies page. ^6,4Company-reported. Policies hub and dedicated Tech E&O page as read on 2026-09-23. Does not identify which insurer would issue a placed policy.

StartupInsurance.ai's coverage list places "Tech E&O and Professional Liability" as one program line, and ContractorNerd Insurance Services, LLC arranges it as agent/broker of record rather than underwriting it. ^9,10Company-reported. Homepage coverage list and ContractorNerd's terms and conditions on its producer role; the page bundles tech E&O with professional liability in this one catalogue entry rather than describing them separately.

The dedicated Tech E&O page does not name an issuing insurer, wholesale market or program; Amelia Risk's general pages say it places business with the dozens of insurance companies it works with, so the actual carrier for a Tech E&O placement depends on underwriting. ^4,2Not publicly disclosed. Dedicated Tech E&O page and specialties process page, both as read on 2026-09-23. A checked gap, not a statement that no insurer exists.

The homepage's carrier panel does not identify which panel carrier underwrites tech E&O placements; the reviewed pages do not disclose a specific insurer for this line. ⁹Not publicly disclosed. Homepage carrier panel; the panel is program-wide, not broken out by coverage line.

Amelia Risk says a company should generally consider Tech E&O once people are using its technology, whether in beta or full release. ⁴Company-reported. Dedicated Tech E&O page's purchase-timing guidance. A general trigger the firm states, not an underwriting eligibility rule.

Amelia Risk markets Tech E&O to its technology-industry clients, a specialty vertical it describes as covering software, hardware, robotics, AI, autonomous-vehicle software and life-sciences companies. ⁵Company-reported. Technology specialty page as read on 2026-09-16. Describes the firm's marketed audience, not a stated size or revenue threshold.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Amelia Risk describes Tech E&O as a more specific term for professional liability: it protects a company if its product or service fails and causes a client or user a financial loss. ⁴Company-reported. Dedicated Tech E&O page copy. A general definition, not a specimen policy form or list of exclusions.

StartupInsurance.ai says most tech E&O forms leave out coverage for accuracy warranties and uptime promises that a startup takes on by signing a customer contract, and that it reads customer contracts against the tech E&O policy before binding to catch that gap. ⁹Company-reported. Homepage "wording that still says yes" section; describes a general gap the brokerage says it looks for, not the terms of a specific StartupInsurance.ai-placed tech E&O policy.

StartupInsurance.ai says one major carrier added a blanket AI exclusion to "D&O, E&O and fiduciary" forms at renewal; the page does not specify whether "E&O" here means technology E&O, professional E&O, or both. ⁹Company-reported. Homepage "wording that still says yes" section; the E&O reference is ambiguous between the two E&O lines the program sells, so this claim is not conclusively tech-E&O-specific.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

StartupInsurance.ai's free policy check reads a startup's customer contracts against its tech E&O wording, flagging places where the contract promises something (like an accuracy warranty) the policy doesn't cover. ⁹Company-reported. Homepage service description; a marketing offer describing what the review covers, not a report on any specific customer's tech E&O policy.

Amelia Risk applies its general four-step brokerage process to a Tech E&O request: it gathers information about the company, approaches insurers on the client's behalf, reviews the resulting quotes together, and lets the client decide how to proceed. ²Company-reported. Specialties page process description, which applies across the firm's lines rather than describing a Tech E&O-specific intake form.

"Tech Errors & Omissions" is one of seven boxes on StartupInsurance.ai's online quote-intake screen, described there as coverage for "claims from your tech products or services failing." The same screen shows no separate box for general professional liability. ⁸Company-reported. Initial coverage-selection screen of the quote application; the absence of a distinct professional-liability box shows how the flow packages this line, not that professional liability is unavailable.

Amelia Risk says it advocates for a client's needs during claims as part of its general brokerage process; the reviewed pages do not describe a Tech E&O-specific claims procedure or dedicated claims contact. ²Company-reported. Specialties page 'Our Process' section. A general brokerage claims-advocacy statement, not a line-specific claims service.
