Buckle

Buckle is an Atlanta-based insurtech company founded in 2017 that operates a tech-enabled insurance fronting platform through its wholly owned carrier, Gateway Insurance. The company reimagines the traditional fronting carrier model by offering small to mid-size Managing General Agents (MGAs) low-cost, efficient access to reinsurance markets with countrywide reach and professional underwriting guidance. Buckle's core value proposition is eliminating the high cost of fronting — a structural inefficiency in the specialty insurance market — so that MGAs can achieve sustainable growth without the capital burden of owning their own carrier. The platform connects MGAs to diversified reinsurance panels through a seamless, technology-driven process.
