How UpSure works
Managing cover with UpSure
What we cover
Six specialties. One brief: complex risk, done properly.
We don't broker everything. We go deep where the risk is most non-standard — and where the wrong broker quietly costs you more than the wrong cover.
Startups & Scaleups
We design programs that match where you are now and where the cap table says you're going. No oversold cover, no last-minute scrambles before a raise.
Technology & AI
Standard tech wordings weren't written for foundation models, agentic systems or platform-level dependency. Ours are.
Smart Manufacturing
Industry 4.0 has rewritten the risk profile of manufacturing. We broker programs that reflect connected operations, not just bricks and machinery.
Venture Capital & Private Equity
We broker for GPs, management companies and their portfolios — aligning cover across the stack so founders get better terms on day one.
International Expansion
Crossing borders changes everything — admitted policies, tax, sanctions, data, employment. We design global programs that actually hold together.
High Net Worth & Founders
When the company is the wealth, the personal risk picture changes. We design private client programs around founders, operators and family offices.

UpSure is a Corporate Authorised Representative of Community Broker Network (CBN), part of the Steadfast network. You get the personalised touch of a specialist broker with access to more than 450 Australian and international underwriters, creating more options, fewer declines and deeper, more specialised coverage.
