About Pelican Ventures

What We Do

We are investors with deep insurance domain expertise

We have an extensive network of relationships with start-ups, accelerators, insurers, reinsurers, brokers, insurance service providers, and rating agencies.  We work with you to develop new relationships, create and support new initiatives, and help you achieve your key business objectives.

We like to invest early and prefer a majority position

Pelican can provide staged capital so that founders can focus on growing their businesses profitably.  It is not uncommon for us to be the only outside capital in deals in which we engage.

We invest for the

long-term

​

Our evergreen capital has no fund liquidity pressure — any investment we make is with the intention of leading all follow-on investments.
