About Send 

In 2017, Send was founded by Andy Moss, Ben Huckel, and Matt McGrillis with a vision to reshape and enhance the underwriting process for commercial insurers-combining advanced technology with deep industry expertise.

By 2019, we had delivered a commercial and specialty Underwriting Workbench for a leading global insurer-one of the UK’s top five composite insurers and a major FTSE 100 carrier. This solution streamlined operations, improved efficiency, and enabled forward visibility.

In 2022, we won three industry awards for the Underwriting Workbench and raised $10 million in Series A funding to support our expansion in the UK and US.

The following year, in 2023, we launched Smart Submission, a stand-alone component of the Underwriting Workbench, and were named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide P&C Intelligent Underwriting Workbench Applications Vendor Assessment.

In 2024, we were recognised as a Top Provider in the Datos P&C Workbench report and named a Leader in Celent’s Underwriting Workbench reports for both North America and Global Markets.

Our vision is to be the market-leading underwriting software platform for agile carriers.
