Equal Parts, a next-generation insurance agency leveraging AI technology, has announced its acquisition of Assurely, an Austin-based agency known for providing specialized insurance solutions, including Directors & Officers (D&O) coverage, to startups and emerging companies with complex capital structures.Assurely, co-founded by David Carpentier and Ty Sagalow, has focused on addressing unique insurance challenges for companies, particularly those with complex capital structures, crowdfunding components, and non-traditional investor bases. Its flagship offering, the TigerMark MGA program, provides proprietary D&O insurance specifically designed for early-stage companies that have historically faced difficulties securing adequate coverage through conventional channels.Mike Witte, CEO and co-founder of Equal Parts, commented on the acquisition, stating, “David and the Assurely team exemplify what we mean by going further for clients. They didn’t accept that certain companies were ‘hard to insure’ — they created an entirely new solution. By integrating TigerMark into our connected platform, we can scale this offering while dramatically improving operational efficiency through automated workflows.”Equal Parts’ technology infrastructure is set to transform Assurely’s operations by connecting previously siloed systems and eliminating manual processes, addressing a critical challenge within traditional insurance agencies that often struggle with disconnected systems. This integration aims to improve operational margins, enabling continued innovation.David Carpentier emphasized the shared vision, saying, “I’ve always believed that every company deserves access to proper, cost-effective insurance coverage, regardless of how complex or unique they might be. Equal Parts shares that philosophy and has the platform to scale these kinds of specialized solutions. Together, we can serve more founders, solve more complex problems, and continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in insurance.”This acquisition marks Equal Parts’ second since its launch in March 2025, following the purchase of Lumen Insurance. The combined expertise of Lumen, which serves venture-backed tech startups, and Assurely, with its specialized solutions for companies with strategic early investors or non-traditional funding, enables Equal Parts to serve a broader spectrum of emerging companies.Witte further added, “We’re not just acquiring agencies — we’re creating a platform where talented professionals can scale their impact. David achieved what the insurance industry said couldn’t be done. Now we’re amplifying it through our technology infrastructure.”Equal Parts, an insurance innovation company launched in March 2025 with $10 million in acquisition capital led by Equal Ventures and Max Ventures, acquires independent agencies to empower them with AI tools designed to enhance human interaction rather than replace it. The company’s objective is to allow insurance professionals to concentrate on client relationships while AI manages administrative tasks, with a goal of generating $1 billion in premiums over the next three to five years. Assurely, now part of Equal Parts, continues its specialization in serving complex early-stage and emerging companies.
