Coterie Insurance Opens New Markets with AI Insights from Planck

Planck’s platform provides rapid insights that change the game for commercial insurance underwriting

NEW YORK, May 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Planck’s innovative AI platform is helping Coterie Insurance and its partners deliver instant business insurance — without taking on unanticipated risk exposure. A partnership-focused MGA, Coterie leverages data and technology to provide instant quoting and issuing of small business insurance policies.

Commercial insurance for small businesses requires expert underwriting and a thorough understanding of the unique challenges facing each business. Due to the high-risk and high-touch nature of underwriting this segment, writing small businesses has been historically unprofitable and untouchable.

“Through Coterie, our distribution partners can now access millions of small businesses because it finally makes sense to write small commercial insurance,” says Coterie Insurance Co-Founder and CEO David McFarland. “With our proprietary mix of data insights from vendors including Planck, we ask for just business name and address to deliver a bindable quote, cutting the quote to bind time by 98%.”

Bella Hadid and I Are Both Fans of This Y2K-Inspired Jewelry Brand

The benefit of spending as much time on social media as I do is that you become pretty familiar with what's trending in fashion — and more specifically, what fashion brands celebrities can't seem to get enough of. Most recently, my aimless Instagram scrolling introduced me to Frasier Sterling, the whimsical, Y2K-inspired brand behind some of Justin Bieber and Bella Hadid's most-worn accessories. The brand has a signature look to it that teams modern jewelry silhouettes with bubbly charms and accents, which play into peak nostalgia lore — and honestly feel like the kind of pieces you'd find in the wardrobe of a young Paris Hilton or Britney Spears.

Having been born in the late '90s, I've always felt like I missed out on getting to enjoy the style fads of the early aughts to their full glory — I was too young for Tamagotchis, too late to all of the dangerously low-rise-jean trends (and honestly thankful for it), and just barely old enough to appreciate Lisa Frank in its heyday. Perhaps that's why I was so excited to discover Frasier Sterling's retro-inspired collection of accessories, which gives Gen Zers the chance to embrace all the quirky fashion mania they missed out on — and millennials a chance to relive them all again (often to their own dismay).

"What sets Frasier Sterling apart is how agile we are — we've really been able to be at the forefront of so many jewelry and accessory trends over the past 12 years; it's what makes us the go-to brand for so many customers and celebs alike," Frasier Lipton, the founder and creative genius behind the brand, tells POPSUGAR. She also notes that having the brand be embraced by some of the world's biggest fashion stars has made it "feel larger than life" in a lot of ways. "I am so grateful for every celebrity who has worn my designs; it has really helped put the brand on the map and allowed me to do what I love every day."

Counter-UAS Advances as FAA Enlists WhiteFox for Airport Protection

The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) decision to work with WhiteFox Defense on its airport drone detection program points to continuing advances in the development and deployment of counter-UAS technologies in the US.

Under the arrangement, WhiteFox, a leader in counter-drone and airspace security technologies, will join the FAA’s Airport UAS detection and mitigation research program. According to a statement from WhiteFox, the program will test “the most effective drone detection and mitigation technologies” and seek ways to provide “greater airspace awareness without disrupting other elements of the National Airspace System (NAS).”

In selecting WhiteFox for this effort, the FAA will draw on the company’s extensive experience in devising and deploying counter-UAS systems. As reported in Commercial UAV News, WhiteFox has been involved a wide range of counter-UAS operations, including providing airspace awareness at the 2022 Circuit of the Americas (COTA) Formula 1 event in Texas and coordinating drone detection services at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
