Founded in 2012 by Bryan Wilburn -- who previously built Southwest Risk, one of the largest commercial property program managers in the US -- the company has developed a scaled platform of disciplined specialty underwriting businesses. The platform model identifies deep subject matter experts in specific commercial insurance niches and provides them with backend infrastructure, capital, carrier capacity, and shared services to build profitable and scalable insurance businesses. Each subsidiary brand operates independently with a focus on underwriting discipline, aligned incentives, and durable program economics. The company currently operates 15 specialty insurance programs across 11+ brands, serving a distribution network of over 2,000 producers nationwide. In March 2026, RISK THEORY completed the acquisition of Roundhill Express, a New York City-based technology-enabled MGA specializing in commercial habitational properties. This marked the company's first external MGA acquisition and validated its buy-and-build growth strategy. ## Products & services ### Risk Point Dealership insurance including garage package and physical damage coverage for cars, recreation vehicles, heavy trucks, RVs, and motorcycles. *Target users:* Auto, RV, and heavy equipment dealerships *Distribution:* Wholesale broker and retail agent network ### Redstone Underwriters Specialty underwriting solutions for artisan contractor coverage needs. *Target users:* Artisan contractors *Distribution:* Wholesale broker and retail agent network ### Striker Insurance Services Monoline commercial auto coverage for over 80 classes of residential and commercial artisan contractors nationwide. *Target users:* Artisan and construction contractors *Distribution:* Wholesale broker and retail agent network ### Jupiter Risk Services Insurance solutions for the habitational multifamily commercial market. *Target users:* Multifamily real estate investors and operators *Distribution:* Wholesale broker and retail agent network ### Jupiter Re Specialty property insurance for complex commercial risks including real estate, retail, hospitality, heavy industry, manufacturing, specialty energy, municipalities, standalone weather perils, and builders risk. *Target users:* Complex commercial property owners *Distribution:* Wholesale broker and retail agent network ### Heavy Iron Underwriters Specialty underwriting solutions for the heavy iron and equipment segment. *Target users:* Heavy equipment operators and owners *Distribution:* Wholesale broker and retail agent network ### KGC Underwriters Comprehensive insurance solutions for churches and their ministries. *Target users:* Religious organizations and church\-affiliated entities *Distribution:* Wholesale broker and retail agent network ### Applied Claims Group Full claims service, risk management services, and multiline third-party administration programs. *Target users:* Carriers and program managers requiring TPA services ### Applied Appraisal Property damage appraisal services for carriers and self-insured entities. *Target users:* Carriers, program managers, and self\-insured entities ### Roundhill Express Technology-enabled MGA specializing in commercial habitational property insurance in the New York City metropolitan area.
