BrandRock was born out of experience. No, not experience in the insurance industry. We were born from the founder experience (we’ll leave the insurance stuff to our partners at Marsh McLennan Agency – they’re more pro than we’d ever hope to be).
Matt Matros, a BrandRock co-founder and former 4x founder himself, had one of those “oh s*hit” moments when a $2M worth of LIMITLESS drinks finished goods on the way to WalMart had a pin-hole sized defect. Everybody involved denied responsibility: the can manufacturer, the storage facility, and – you guessed it – the insurance policy.
He survived the scars, ate the loss, sold the brand, and ventured off to start BrandRock. Sure, it leans a little more towards the “boring” side of the scale in business, but Matt’s experience as a founder helped him see a need and develop an unquenchable desire to fix it.
You don’t know what you’re paying for until it’s too late. We learned the hard way so you don’t have to.
Our mission is to make sure no founder is ever in a situation like we were – out of luck despite being told we were doing the right things.
We’ve partnered with the leading service providers in food, beverage and consumer to bring you only trusted products and the right expertise.
More than doubled coverage and slashed premiums by 20%, despite the brand nearly doubling in sales.
Identified mission-critical holes in coverage related to product liability, spoilage, and worker’s compensation risks.
When Matt set out to solve the problem of under-insured founders, he was emboldened by how many stories like his he heard from other founders. One of those people was Mark Ramadan. The two formed a partnership and joined forces with Sam Zaiser, who for nearly a decade has been leading the Food, Beverage and Consumer practice for Marsh McLennan Agency, one of the world’s leading brokerages.
