Orchid Insurance
Specialty coverage for properties others won't touch.
Overview
Orchid Insurance was built for one of the hardest insurance markets in the country: coastal and catastrophe-exposed property. Founded in Vero Beach, Florida in 1998, Orchid specializes in providing homeowners and commercial property coverage for high-risk coastal locations across the US and Caribbean, markets that standard carriers systematically avoid.
History
1998
Founded in Vero Beach, Florida with a specific focus on providing specialty property insurance for coastal, catastrophe-exposed homes that major carriers declined to write.
2000s
Grew as Florida's property market hardened and major carriers pulled back from coastal risks, positioning Orchid as a reliable alternative.
2014
Acquired by Gryphon Investors, a San Francisco-based private equity firm, gaining capital to expand product offerings and geographic reach.
2020s
Expanded across the US and Caribbean, becoming one of the largest specialty underwriters of catastrophe-exposed property insurance in North America.
2024
Continues to write coastal homeowners, wind, and commercial property coverage in markets where other carriers simply won't go.
