Originally founded in 2000 as SeaPass Solutions by Ari Katz and Eric Gewirtzman, the company rebranded to BOLT Solutions Inc. in 2013 and has since grown into a platform connecting more than 100 carriers -- including two-thirds of America's leading insurers -- with thousands of agents, brokers, and distributors across all 50 states. The bolt platform provides a single interface that connects seamlessly with back-office systems, enabling insurers to bundle their offerings with those from other carriers and meet all customer needs without taking on additional risk. With over $3 billion in active premium on its platform and more than 6,000 registered users, bolt powers omni-channel insurance distribution through a cloud-based, API-driven architecture with 220+ microservices. Bolt Solutions was acquired by Actua Corporation in 2017, later transferred to CVC Capital Partners, and is now a core part of bolttech, an international insurtech headquartered in Singapore with a $2.1 billion valuation. The bolt North America division continues to operate as the largest P&C insurance exchange in the world. ## Products & services ### bolt Exchange Enterprise The world-leading insurance exchange providing carriers and distributors with unrivaled choice across personal and commercial product lines.
