“Relay has built an innovative digital marketplace, tailored to the needs of brokers. By enabling it to focus all its efforts on serving brokers and their key partners, we believe it will deliver maximum benefit to the ecosystem and create the go-to marketplace for brokers in SMB speciality insurance.”

Relay co-founder and CEO Greg Boutin said: “Thanks to their collaborative and innovative approach to solving business risk, we see At-Bay as spearheading the successful development of a true multi-carrier platform.

“We immediately felt a strong connection with their team, with both of our companies holding a deep respect for the industry, while fiercely driving it into the future.”

At-Bay, which has raised $292m from investors, is said to have recorded an annual recurring gross written premium (ARGWP) of $360m this year.
