Risklytics Insurance Services is a licensed insurance producer (NPN 22311838) that places Risklytics Commercial Property Insurance with outside carriers; it says it does not underwrite policies itself. ¹Company-reported. About page; describes Risklytics' brokerage model generally, restated for this line.

StartupInsurance.ai does not underwrite commercial property coverage itself. ContractorNerd Insurance Services, LLC, the licensed property and casualty agency behind the brand, is licensed in all 50 states and arranges placement; its terms describe the company as an insurance agency/producer that does not underwrite insurance. ^9,10,8Company-reported. ContractorNerd's terms and conditions and insurance-licenses page; describes the brokerage's general role, not commercial-property-specific placement terms.

Risklytics does not name the carrier that underwrites Risklytics Commercial Property Insurance on its site. It says it places business with specialist insurers willing to write robotics, autonomy and AI risk; the issuing carrier appears on the bound policy. ^4,1Company-reported. Lines page and about page; no specific insurer is published for this line.

The homepage's carrier panel names six insurers at the program level (The Hartford, Chubb, Coalition, Tokio Marine HCC, Travelers and CNA) but does not state which one, if any, underwrites a given company's commercial property policy. ⁸Not publicly disclosed. Carrier panel is program-wide rather than broken out by line; the insurer for a commercial property placement is not disclosed on the pages reviewed and varies by placement.

Risklytics says landlords usually require this coverage on a first lease with meaningful contents, and that a tenant's lease commonly requires coverage for improvements and contents since the landlord's own policy only covers the building. ⁴Company-reported. Lines page.

The section frames these seven lines around founders "building robots, hardware, energy or defense tech," saying StartupInsurance.ai treats them as "our daily lines, not our exceptions" — positioning commercial property as a line it places regularly for hardware-adjacent startups with labs, workshops or warehouses, rather than as a rare add-on. ⁸Company-reported. Same homepage section; describes the target customer segment StartupInsurance.ai says it serves for this catalogue of lines, not formal underwriting eligibility criteria.

Risklytics describes Commercial Property as paying to repair a leased office or lab and replace its contents after damage or theft on premises, such as a burst pipe soaking test rigs or a break-in emptying a workshop, and says it does not follow equipment once it leaves the premises (that is Equipment/Inland Marine). ⁴Company-reported. Lines page; the issued policy and declarations control actual coverage.

StartupInsurance.ai lists "Property" among seven lines in the homepage's "Physical risk, because AI outgrew software" section — Products Liability, Inland Marine, Tools and Equipment, Commercial Auto, Builders Risk, Surety and Property — offered alongside the core startup program of GL, cyber, D&O and related lines. The page uses the single word "Property" rather than "commercial property." ⁸Company-reported. Homepage "Physical risk, because AI outgrew software" section as read on 2026-09-23; the reviewed page names the line but does not describe building types, business personal property limits, or covered perils.

Risklytics does not publish a typical dollar limit for this line; it says the typical ask is enough coverage to replace what is in the insured space. ⁴Not publicly disclosed. Lines page, checked 2026-09-23.

The reviewed pages do not publish sample commercial property building or business-personal-property limits, coinsurance terms, or covered perils. ^8,7Not found in reviewed sources. Homepage and quote-intake screen as read on 2026-09-23; limits would only surface on an actual quote.

Risklytics calls commercial property the most standardized, easy-to-get policy it places. ⁴Company-reported. Lines page.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

You start Risklytics Commercial Property Insurance through Risklytics' online application. Risklytics says there is no broker fee on top of the premium and a licensed producer stays on the file until the program binds; its commission is paid by the carrier out of the premium either way. ^5,1Company-reported. Pricing page describes the general application and fee process, not a line-specific form.

The physical-risk section's call to action reads "Ask about your insurance requirements →" rather than the "Get Quotes" button used elsewhere on the homepage, indicating commercial property is discussed with a specialist rather than quoted through a self-serve form. ⁸Company-reported. Homepage "Physical risk, because AI outgrew software" section as read on 2026-09-23; the page does not describe what that conversation covers.

The public quote-application's coverage-selection screen offers seven checkboxes (D&O, Cyber, Tech E&O, EPL, Fiduciary, Crime and GL); Property is not one of them, so it is not part of that self-serve intake flow. ⁷Not found in reviewed sources. Initial coverage-selection screen of the quote application as read on 2026-09-23; a later screen or specialist conversation could still address this line.
