§ COMPANY · ABOUT

Founded by CTOs. Built around insurance.

Growthmill is a software practice for the insurance industry. We build bespoke platforms for carriers, MGAs and brokers - assembled on a battle-tested module library, and shipped in quarters rather than fiscal years.

§ 01 · OUR APPROACH

Agile. User-centric. Ruthlessly low on ceremony.

Growthmill was founded by CTOs, and we run every project the way we wished consultancies had run for us. We don't burden engagements with low-value documentation or status theater. We cut through undue process and focus on the work that actually clarifies what to build.

Every project starts with an evaluation of the problem and the desired future state. We map your customers - internal and external - and the competitors that shape their expectations. That context is what gives us standing to offer real opinions about the technical solution, not just execute a spec.

Progress is shared in a transparent, simple fashion. Working software in your environment, every week. No black-box delivery, no end-of-quarter surprises.

§ 02 · WHY INSURANCE

A specialty industry deserves a specialty practice.

Insurance is the largest industry that still runs on PDFs, email threads and decade-old AS/400 deployments. The players who modernize first are the ones writing more business with fewer people. That modernization is what we do - and only what we do. Every line of code in our module library was written for a real submission, a real bind path, a real regulator.

P&C SPECIALTY
Surplus lines, E&S, programs
State-tax + stamping office calc, diligent search workflows, and bordereaux pipelines. We've shipped these enough times to know the edge cases.
DISTRIBUTION
MGAs, MGUs, wholesalers
Producer hierarchy, sub-producer commissions, branch-level permissions, white-labeled portals. Built to handle layered distribution out of the box.
CARRIER OPS
Quote, bind, issue, endorse
ACORD-aware data models, 40+ carrier connectors, document parsing and proposal generation. The whole submission-to-policy lifecycle on one platform.
BROKERS
Retail and wholesale brokerages
Quote comparison, proposal configurators, e-sign, client portals. Built so producers stop juggling spreadsheets and PDFs.
DOMAIN
Insurance only
No retainer-of-the-week pivots.
PLAYBOOK
18 modules
Reusable across carriers, MGAs and brokers.
INTEGRATIONS
40+ carriers
ACORD, REST, scrape-as-fallback.
AUDIT
SOC 2 Type II
Continuous monitoring, evidence on tap.
§ 03 · CORE VALUES

What we hold the team to, on every engagement.

These aren't poster slogans. They show up in code review, in roadmap calls, and in how we say no to scope that doesn't earn its keep.

01
Grow innovative ideas
We treat every engagement as a chance to push the surface area of what insurance software can do - not just port an old form to the web.
02
Approach solutions with a Product mindset
Roadmaps over tickets. We measure shipped features by the underwriter or producer time they save, not by the lines of code we wrote.
03
Leverage open source where it fits
We pick boring, durable tooling for the parts that don't differentiate, and reserve custom work for the rating, workflow and carrier logic that does.
04
Prioritize high-impact features
Initial scope is ruthlessly trimmed. Bind path first, then quote, then the long tail. Anything that doesn't move a policy through the funnel waits.
05
Offer unmatched value to clients
Module reuse means most platforms are 60–80% pre-built before week one. You pay for the bespoke 20%, not the table stakes.
06
Optimize performance and quality
Sub-second quote calculation, 99.9% uptime targets, and audit trails on every state transition. Insurance ops can't tolerate flaky software.
07
Cultivate the team
Mentorship pairs and protected work-life balance. Senior engineers stay on the same client for years, which is why our domain knowledge compounds.
08
10% time for learning
Every team member dedicates 10% of their week to deepening their craft - new languages, insurance regulations, or the carrier API du jour.
