Overview
Acolite is a commercial insurance brokerage serving general contractors and specialty trade businesses across all 50 states. The company combines licensed broker services with AI-powered automation to handle the insurance procurement process for construction companies, from initial quoting to same-day policy binding and certificate issuance.
The brokerage focuses on contractors in roofing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, painting, and general contracting, with particular concentration in major metropolitan areas including New York City, Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, Miami, and Los Angeles. Rather than relying on web forms or self-serve portals, Acolite pairs licensed brokers with AI teammates to deliver coverage faster than traditional broker workflows.
Acolite shops submissions with more than 10 carriers per account, compared to the industry average of two or three. The technology platform produces quotes within two business hours and can generate Certificates of Insurance in under 60 seconds. The company became a Catalyit Premium Partner in October 2025, enabling AI agent integrations across multiple agency management systems. It is backed by Y Combinator (W25 batch) and was accepted into the BrokerTech Ventures 2026 Selection Series accelerator.
