June 26 - (The Insurer) - AI-focused broker consolidator Equal Parts has acquired Assurely, an Austin-based agency serving startups and emerging companies.
Founded in 2016 by David Carpentier and Ty Sagalow, Assurely aims to address unique insurance challenges, particularly for companies with complex capital structures, crowdfunding components, and non-traditional investor bases.
Its flagship offering, the TigerMark MGA program, provides proprietary D&O insurance designed for early-stage companies that often face challenges in securing adequate coverage through conventional channels.
Equal Parts said that its technology infrastructure will enhance Assurely's operations by integrating previously siloed systems and eliminating manual processes.
This acquisition marks Equal Parts' second since its inception in March 2025, following its purchase of Lumen Insurance. The Austin-based company said that it aims to generate $1 billion in premiums over the next three to five years.
“By integrating TigerMark into our connected platform, we can scale this offering while dramatically improving operational efficiency through automated workflows,” said Mike Witte, CEO and co-founder of Equal Parts.
Equal Parts launched with $10 million in acquisition capital, led by Equal Ventures and Max Ventures. It aims to modernize the industry by acquiring small agencies and equipping them with AI-powered tools to automate tasks and integrate systems.
