[1](https://www.embroker.com/coverage/directors-officers-insurance/ "Directors & Officers Insurance Coverage: D&O Explained") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page description; not a statement about the issuing insurer.) ## Who It’s For - Embroker markets D&O to any private or public company with a board of directors, startups that have received or are about to receive venture capital funding, and nonprofit corporations, saying VC and private equity investors commonly require it before funding. [1](https://www.embroker.com/coverage/directors-officers-insurance/ "Directors & Officers Insurance Coverage: D&O Explained") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page eligibility and 'Why Do Startups Need D&O Insurance?' sections; not a guarantee of coverage for a particular company.) ## Coverage Features - Embroker lists coverage for misuse of company funds, misrepresentation of company assets, breach of fiduciary duty, failure to comply with workplace laws and lack of corporate governance. [1](https://www.embroker.com/coverage/directors-officers-insurance/ "Directors & Officers Insurance Coverage: D&O Explained") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page What's covered section; the issued policy and declarations control.) - Embroker says the policy excludes lawsuits between members of the same company, criminal or deliberately fraudulent activity, prior-knowledge claims, and claims against directors actively engaged in antitrust violations. [1](https://www.embroker.com/coverage/directors-officers-insurance/ "Directors & Officers Insurance Coverage: D&O Explained") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page What's not included section.) - Embroker structures its D&O policy with three insuring agreements: Side A covers individual directors and officers when the company cannot indemnify them, Side B reimburses the company for indemnifying its leaders, and Side C covers the company itself when it is sued for financial mismanagement. [1](https://www.embroker.com/coverage/directors-officers-insurance/ "Directors & Officers Insurance Coverage: D&O Explained") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page 'What are Side A, B, and C insuring agreements?' section; specific policy structure, not a claim about every insurer's D&O form.) ## Limits and Retentions - For its startup package, Embroker publishes illustrative D&O/EPLI/fiduciary limit and retention ranges by funding stage, from roughly $1-2 million in limits with a $10-25k retention for companies raising up to $10 million, up to $8-10 million in limits with a $25-75k retention for companies raising $100-250 million. [1](https://www.embroker.com/coverage/directors-officers-insurance/ "Directors & Officers Insurance Coverage: D&O Explained") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page cost table for the Embroker Startup Package; actual limits, retentions and premiums depend on underwriting.) ## How to Apply - Embroker offers an online quote for D&O coverage through its digital platform, describing underwriting factors including revenue, industry risk and claims history.
