What Are the Key Differences Between Chubb and RiskCube D&O Insurance?

Fast Multi-Carrier Quotes vs One Chubb Policy

RiskCube takes about 10 minutes of online intake on your fundraising, cap table, board, revenue and litigation, then compares carrier quotes, typically within one to two business days, with proof of coverage about 24 hours after you pick one. Chubb's ForeFront Portfolio 3.0 is a single policy for smaller private companies that agents quote through Chubb Marketplace. Choose RiskCube if you're an AI, fintech, govtech, defense or space startup closing a round and need quotes fast; choose Chubb if you're a smaller private company that wants IPO and failed-IPO coverage written in. ³ ¹ ²

AI Exclusions and How Exclusions Apply

RiskCube says it checks every AI company's D&O policy for AI exclusions or sublimits before binding, to guard against "AI washing" and oversight claims. Chubb's highlights describe no AI screen, but its conduct exclusions apply only after a final, non-appealable ruling, so defense costs keep flowing while fraud allegations are fought. ³ ¹

What Should You Confirm in Chubb and RiskCube D&O Insurance Quotes?

Ask RiskCube which carriers quoted and whether any quote carries an AI exclusion or sublimit. ³
If RiskCube returns a Chubb option, check whether it's ForeFront 3.0 and compare its insured-versus-insured exceptions with the other forms. ¹
Ask Chubb for the overall limit and whether the optional $500,000 executive-only Side A limit is included. ¹
Ask RiskCube who handles your claim; its D&O page doesn't say. ³
