Partners and their roles
Who the partners are and what they do for the firm.
- 03
Portfolio-company board seats
Partners serving as directors at portfolio companies, relevant to outside-directorship protection.
- 04
Investor information
Who invests in the funds, for the investor-claim side of the package.
- 05
Regulatory profile
Registrations and any inquiries, since the package may address regulatory matters.
- 06
Employees at the management company
Headcount for employment claims, which differ from fund-governance claims.

Current coverage
Your expiring management and professional liability terms.
What affects your price

Common questions
Does a VCAP policy replace a portfolio company’s D&O?
No. Fund-level coverage doesn’t automatically replace the portfolio company’s own policy, and we check outside-directorship protection separately.
Is VCAP a standard policy?
No. The label is not a standard coverage package, so we check which funds, partners, board roles and claims each quote includes.
Does it include employment claims?
Not necessarily. Employment claims at the management company differ from fund-governance claims, so we check whether the quote includes both.
Does my firm’s broker stay on?
If you’d like. Spot works alongside brokers and takes no commissions on premiums, and can help you find another.
