## Overview

SuretyNow is a digital distribution platform modernizing the surety bond application and underwriting process. The platform enables contractors, businesses, and brokers to apply for and quote bonds online within minutes, addressing a manual, legacy market dominated by offline processes. The company operates a surety bond brokerage model, connecting applicants to a network of 30+ licensed carriers while eliminating traditional broker fees and physical meetings.

Founded in 2022 and backed by Y Combinator (Winter 2024), SuretyNow targets the estimated USD 8 billion U.S. surety bond market. The platform streamlines what has traditionally been a 2-4 week application cycle into a same-day or next-day approval process, targeting contractors performing federal construction (requiring performance bonds), commercial service providers, and businesses needing compliance-related bonding.

The company has facilitated over USD 100 million in total bond amounts written and assisted 4,500+ companies. SuretyNow maintains a 5-star Google review rating and 4.8-star Trustpilot rating, indicating strong customer satisfaction with the streamlined application experience and competitive pricing.
