Slide

Slide Insurance is a direct-to-consumer residential property carrier headquartered in Tampa, Florida, focused on coastal specialty markets. Founded in 2021, the company writes homeowners, condominium, landlord, and commercial residential coverage in Florida (where 99.5% of policies are concentrated) and South Carolina. At year-end 2024, Slide had approximately 343,000 policies in force.

The company operates a proprietary AI and big data platform that automates risk selection, pricing, and underwriting. Customers access policies through direct digital channels via the mySlide web and mobile app (iOS and Android), which also handles claims reporting with photo documentation and connects policyholders to a pre-vetted emergency contractor network. Slide is an active participant in the Florida Citizens Insurance depopulation program, absorbing policies from the state residual market.

As of mid-2025, Slide posted a combined ratio of 72.3% for 2024 against an industry average of approximately 95%, supported by a USD 1 billion reinsurance program. The company completed its IPO on Nasdaq in June 2025 at USD 17.00 per share (ticker: SLDE), raising USD 408 million and closing at a USD 2.62 billion valuation -- the largest insurtech IPO of 2025.
