## About

Based in New York, US, founded in 2024, Novella Technologies Inc., focuses on tailored insurance solutions. The company was co-founded by Max Kane (CEO as of 2026), Michael Tsibelman, and Alex Broome. In May 2026, Novella Technologies Inc. raised USD 21 million in series A funding led by inestor Brewer Lane Ventures, with participation from BoxGroup, Crystal Venture Partners, SV Angel, Avid Ventures, Verissimo Ventures, Arch Insurance Company, ZEP Fund and Blank Ventures.

Novella specializes in providing tailored insurance solutions primarily designed for commercial real estate, hospitality, and construction sectors. Their main offerings include commercial property insurance, general and excess liability coverage, and specialized insurance for various industries such as manufacturers, wholesalers, and contractors. The company's platform enables brokers to assemble shared and layered insurance programs, ensuring real-time tracking of submissions and fast turnaround for quotes, typically within 24 hours. Novella's coverage is particularly suitable for small to mid-sized risks, encompassing properties with total insured values up to USD 100 mn across diverse locations in the United States. Their products address specific needs such as flood and earthquake endorsements, especially in vulnerable coastal areas and regions like California, while also catering to urban properties including mixed-use developments and apartment buildings.

Novella operates on a business-to-business model, partnering with insurance brokers to facilitate the distribution of their insurance products. The company's revenue is generated through the sale of various insurance policies and packages, focusing on providing customized coverage for complex client needs. Transactions typically involve brokers submitting client proposals, which Novella processes through its streamlined platform, allowing for efficient quote generation and policy binding. While specific pricing details for their products are not disclosed, the company offers standard limits for liability coverage and customizable options to meet unique client requirements. Novella's engagement with clients emphasizes a collaborative approach, ensuring that brokers have access to the necessary resources and support to effectively meet their clients' insurance needs.

The company plans to use the recent May 2026 funding to overhaul and automate the wholesale insurance market for complex physical assets using artificial intelligence.
