Coalition vs StartupInsurance.ai Tech E&O Insurance

Coalition designs and distributes Tech E&O as a coverage that combines with its own cyber policy, sold through appointed brokers rather than direct to buyers. ¹Company-reported. Tech E&O product page as read on 2026-09-23.

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.

Coalition's disclaimer page lists Non-Admitted Cyber, Admitted Cyber, and Admitted Executive Risk sections naming specific carriers, but has no equivalent 'Admitted Tech E&O' section, indicating Tech E&O is placed on a non-admitted (surplus lines) basis with unaffiliated insurers that the disclaimer does not name. ⁵Not publicly disclosed. U.S. Disclaimers page as read on 2026-09-23; the buyer's declarations page names the actual issuing insurer for a given policy.

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.

Coalition markets Tech E&O to any organization that provides a technology product or service in exchange for a fee, citing exposures such as software downtime and failures in technology services or products. ¹Company-reported. Tech E&O product page as read on 2026-09-23.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Coalition says Tech E&O covers third-party financial losses from errors, omissions, or negligence in technology products or services, listing example causes including software bugs, delivery delays, IP claims over licensed code, IT-service implementation errors, and failure to meet contract requirements. ¹Company-reported. Tech E&O product page as read on 2026-09-23; the issued policy and endorsements control actual coverage.

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.

Coalition says Tech E&O policyholders get access to Coalition Control at no extra cost, including attack-surface monitoring, vendor-risk monitoring, and zero-day alerts, the same platform provided to cyber policyholders. ^1,6Company-reported. Tech E&O and Coalition Control pages as read on 2026-09-23.

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.

Coalition markets Tech E&O only combined with Active Cyber Insurance, not as a stand-alone policy, and directs interested buyers to schedule a consultation or work through an appointed broker. ¹Company-reported. Tech E&O product page as read on 2026-09-23.

"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.

Coalition says the same in-house claims team handles both Tech E&O and cyber claims in one place, which it describes as a faster, more integrated resolution process. ¹Company-reported. Tech E&O product page as read on 2026-09-23; speed and efficiency descriptions are company-reported and not independently verified.
