Forty years ago, Applied started with humble beginnings – not dissimilar to many great tech startups – in our founder’s basement. We were guided by a belief that the insurance industry was on the cusp of making the next great leap, sparking new growth and ways of doing business.
Our journey has been built on creating and delivering firsts – from the first broker management system to providing market access with the first quoting capabilities, digital payments, and many in between to digitize the roundtrip of insurance for all stakeholders in the ecosystem.
These firsts didn’t happen by accident. They were made possible through the collaboration of thousands of people – from different backgrounds, countries, businesses, and experiences – all anchored by the belief that we can make this great industry better together to uphold its noble mission of safeguarding and protecting what matters most to millions worldwide.
