New York, NY — September 2, 2026 — Lumber, the AI-powered construction workforce management platform, today announced a partnership with Coverdash, a leading embedded insurtech platform with access to 40+ major U.S. insurance carriers, to bring a full business insurance experience directly into the Lumber platform. Through the integration, contractors can compare quotes across carriers, evaluate policies side by side, purchase coverage, access policy information, and manage their insurance without leaving Lumber. The experience spans General Liability, Workers’ Compensation, Commercial Auto, Cyber, Business Owners Policies, Professional Liability, and more. Coverdash customers typically save up to 30% on their business insurance, giving Lumber customers access to competitive coverage alongside the convenience of managing it within the platform they already use to run their business. For contractors, insurance has traditionally meant another platform, another login, and another workflow separate from the systems they already use to run their business. That fragmentation can create friction at every step, from shopping for coverage to obtaining Certificates of Insurance and managing policies as their business changes. With Coverdash embedded in Lumber, contractors can manage their insurance alongside their workforce, payroll, and compliance workflows, with instant access to the documentation they need to keep projects moving. Workers’ Compensation is a key example. Required by state law, critical to protecting employees, and often necessary to land new jobs, workers’ comp has historically been disconnected from the payroll systems contractors use every day. Lumber’s integration with Coverdash brings pay-as-you-go Workers’ Compensation into that workflow, allowing contractors to align premiums with payroll rather than relying solely on large upfront payments based on estimated annual payroll. “Every contractor we talk to says the same thing: cash flow is everything,” said Oleg Pravdin, Head of Product at Lumber. “With pay-as-you-go, premiums move alongside payroll instead of tying up a year’s cash upfront. It’s a small shift that makes a huge difference in how contractors run their business.” “Construction companies need insurance to protect their businesses, meet contractual requirements, and keep projects moving,” said Bobby Jones, Head of Partnerships at Coverdash. “Yet insurance has historically lived outside the platforms contractors rely on to run their businesses. Partnering with Lumber changes that by bringing the full insurance experience into the workflow contractors already use, from comparing coverage to accessing a Certificate of Insurance and managing policies over time.” The partnership builds on Coverdash’s experience embedding commercial insurance directly into the platforms where businesses already work, as well as its growing success bringing pay-as-you-go Workers’ Compensation to businesses through embedded partnerships. For Lumber, the integration expands its platform beyond payroll and compliance to help contractors manage another critical part of running and growing their businesses, while giving them a simpler way to access and manage the coverage they need. Business insurance through Coverdash is available to Lumber customers beginning September 2, 2026. About Lumber Lumber is the industry's leading all-in-one construction workforce management platform, built for construction from the ground up.

New York, NY — August 26, 2026 — Coverdash, the embedded insurtech broker powering coverage for startups and small businesses, today announced a new partnership with Lettuce Financial, an all-in-one financial operating system built for Solopreneurs. The integration puts Coverdash's insurance marketplace directly inside Lettuce's platform, so solopreneurs can get covered in the same place they already handle their S Corp taxes, payroll, and bookkeeping. The Problem: Insurance Is a Recurring Headache for Businesses-of-One Running a business-of-one means wearing every hat, including the ones nobody trains you for. A client asks for proof of insurance before signing a contract. A single data breach could put a consultant's entire business at risk. A simple slip-and-fall could leave a freelancer on the hook for damages. Without a clear starting point, solopreneurs often end up bouncing between several different websites trying to piece together quotes, comparing policies they don't fully understand, and losing track of what they've already bought. The result is common and costly: many end up underinsured on the coverage they actually need, or overpaying for policies that don't fit a business-of-one at all. Lettuce has already solved this kind of friction for taxes and back-office finance, automating S Corp formation, payroll, bookkeeping, quarterly tax payments, and retirement planning. Insurance is the natural next piece of that puzzle, and it's exactly where Coverdash comes in. Coverage That Lives Inside Lettuce, Start to Finish  Lettuce users can now quote, compare, and bind business insurance without leaving the platform, pulling from a marketplace of 40+ carriers and covering the lines solopreneurs run into most often. Once a policy is bound, it doesn't disappear into a separate inbox or platform: members manage it, renew it, and can download Certificates of Insurance right from their Lettuce dashboard. * General Liability: often the first thing a client or landlord asks for * Professional Liability: essential for consultants, therapists, creators, and other service providers * Cyber Insurance: increasingly required for anyone handling client data * Business Owner's Policy (BOP): bundles GL with property coverage for those working out of a home office or studio The goal isn't just checking a box - It's making sure members are never caught flat-footed when a new contract, lease, or client demands coverage they don't already have. With 40+ carriers and dozens of commercial lines behind it, Coverdash's marketplace is built to keep pace with wherever a member's business goes next. And when proof is needed, whether it's for a client, landlord, lender, or partner, the right policy and Certificate of Insurance are ready in a couple of clicks. Why It Matters for Businesses-of-One Freelancers, consultants, creators, and other solo operators face a strange gap in the market: too small to get much attention from traditional commercial insurance providers, but still on the hook for the same liability, client contract requirements, and state compliance rules as much larger companies. Pairing Lettuce's automated back office with Coverdash's embedded quoting and ongoing policy management closes that gap, giving members one more essential piece of running a business handled automatically, alongside their taxes and payroll. “Solopreneurs deserve access to the same protection as larger businesses, without the complexity that traditionally comes with getting insured,” said Ralph Betesh, CEO at Coverdash. “By bringing insurance directly into Lettuce, we’re making coverage a natural part of the way solopreneurs already run their businesses. The goal is simple: make it easier to get the right protection without adding another task, platform, or headache to the list.” “Solopreneurs deserve the same financial infrastructure and protection as much larger businesses, without having to build a back office to get it,” said Ran Harpaz, CEO of Lettuce Financial. “Our goal at Lettuce is to make running a business-of-one radically simpler. By bringing Coverdash directly into Lettuce, we’re adding another essential part of the back office — so our members can manage their taxes, payroll, books, and now business insurance all in one place.”   About Coverdash Coverdash is a fully digital business insurance agency dedicated to making insurance accessible for businesses of all sizes.

New York, NY – August 12, 2026 – Coverdash, a leading digital insurtech company transforming embedded insurance, and Housecall Pro, a leading field service management platform trusted by over 200,000 home service professionals, have partnered to change how home service businesses access and manage insurance. By embedding Coverdash's end-to-end experience directly into the Housecall Pro® - platform, plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, cleaners, landscapers, and other pros now have seamless access to coverage alongside the tools they already use to run their operations every day. Running a home service business means juggling a constant stream of demands: scheduling jobs, dispatching technicians, invoicing, and growing a team. Insurance sits at the center of it all — protecting the business from on-the-job accidents and property damage, and satisfying the contract requirements that often demand proof of coverage before work can even begin.  Yet it has always been one more thing handled separately, sourced through a different vendor, managed elsewhere, and renewed through a different process each year. For busy trades professionals, that friction compounds quickly.  Through this partnership, Coverdash integrates directly into the Housecall Pro platform, allowing pros to access tailored coverage in the same place they schedule jobs, manage customers, and process payments. Through a seamless integration, Housecall Pro has embedded Coverdash's full experience spanning General Liability, Workers' Compensation, Commercial Auto, Professional Liability, Cyber, Business Owners Policies, and more. Users get instant quotes, compare hundreds of carriers, and purchase coverage in minutes.  Once covered, users can download a Certificate of Insurance directly within the Housecall Pro solution, making it effortless to share proof of coverage the moment it's requested.  The integration also includes Coverdash's pay-as-you-go workers' compensation product, which connects premiums directly to real-time workforce data. Users can opt in at the point of payroll, so coverage activates alongside their team from day one. Rather than estimating annual payroll upfront and reconciling at year-end, premiums update automatically with each pay cycle — meaning pros pay only based on what they actually pay their team. "Home service professionals are running demanding businesses every day, " said Ralph Betesh, CEO of Coverdash . “The last thing they should have to worry about is whether they're properly covered. By embedding directly into the Housecall Pro platform, we're meeting pros exactly where they work and making it effortless to get the right coverage in minutes. This is what insurance should look like for the modern small business owner."  The Housecall Pro platform was built to be the operating system for home service businesses, with features spanning scheduling, dispatching, digital invoicing, payment processing, payroll, accounting AI-powered tools, and marketing automation. Adding embedded insurance through Coverdash makes the platform truly all-in-one, building on Coverdash's proven track record of doing the same for other industry leaders. "Our goal is to help home service professionals manage every aspect of their business from a single platform," said Brooks Pettus, President of Housecall Pro. "Insurance is critical to running and growing a service business, and it's traditionally been disconnected from the tools pros use every day. By partnering with Coverdash, we're helping our Pros secure coverage and stay compliant so they can focus on what they do best—delivering great work and taking care of their customers—all without leaving Housecall Pro.  About Coverdash Coverdash is a fully digital business insurance agency that specializes in serving the insurance needs of businesses of all shapes and sizes.

Workers' comp has always been a pain to source. Not because it's complicated in theory - every business with employees needs it, carriers know how to price it, and the data required to underwrite it exists. The problem is where that data lives. Payroll platforms process employee classifications, wages, and hours every two weeks like clockwork. That's exactly what a workers' comp policy is built on. Yet for as long as both have existed, the two have had nothing to do with each other. Business owners have been left to estimate their annual payroll upfront, find a broker, manage a policy on a separate platform, and reconcile everything at year-end audit. Every year. That friction isn't a flaw in the system. It is the system. Until now. What we Built A lot of insurtech companies build a standalone product first, retrofit an API layer on top, and call it embedded. Businesses can feel when insurance has been bolted on as an afterthought. It shows in the UX, the data handoffs, and every interaction that follows. Coverdash has never built that way. Every product we've ever shipped was designed to live inside another platform from day one, not alongside one. That distinction matters most here. Coverdash embeds directly inside the payroll platform. When a business first runs payroll, Coverdash is already there, using live payroll data to query 30+ pay-as-you-go carriers simultaneously and surface the lowest available rate for that specific workforce. No forms. No broker. No separate application. One click to opt in, and premiums sync automatically with every payroll run from that point forward. The audit disappears. The business never leaves the platform they're already in. The insurance experience feels native to the product they're already using, because it is. How it works 1. One integration unlocks everything. Any platform with a payroll component can embed Coverdash through a single backend integration. Workforce and payroll data flow in automatically, pay-as-you-go workers' comp and Coverdash's full commercial suite, live in one shot. 2. Real payroll data. Live market pricing. Instantly. When a business first runs payroll, Coverdash queries 30+ carriers simultaneously using actual workforce data and surfaces the lowest available rate in real time. 3. One click to opt in. The best available quote appears directly inside the payroll workflow. One click. The business never leaves your platform. 4. Premiums that move with the business. Workers' comp premiums calculate automatically from actual payroll each cycle. No estimates. No audits. Coverage stays in sync as the business grows. 5. COI on demand. Always. Certificates of insurance live inside the platform, downloadable whenever they're needed. What it Produces Over 80% of businesses opt in when Coverdash is presented at the point of payroll. That number has held for over a year across top partners. Today, dozens of payroll platforms have deployed Coverdash's embedded pay-as-you-go workers' comp, part of a broader network of 150+ partners running Coverdash's embedded insurance infrastructure across commercial lines. The demand for workers' comp was never the problem. Business owners need it, they know they need it, and when the experience is seamless enough, they take it. The friction was always the distribution model, not the product. Fix the distribution and the conversion follows. For platform partners, that translates to something concrete: the lowest-friction path to a full embedded insurance suite, one integration, one backend, proven across 150+ partners. The platforms moving first are establishing the default insurance relationship with SMBs in a category every competitor will eventually have to build for. The infrastructure is here. The conversion data is in market. The only question is whether your platform is next.

We’re excited to announce Coverdash’s partnership with Celtic Bank, one of the top SBA lenders in the nation. Celtic Bank offers a full catalog of financial services for small businesses, from asset-based lending to expansions and acquisitions. Our embedded insurance capabilities provide Celtic Bank’s clients the necessary insurance solutions required for loan financing directly through Celtic Bank’s portal.  SBA loans are business loans partially backed by the US Small Business Administration, provided by participating lenders like Celtic Bank. These loans are generally attractive due to their affordability (capped interest rates) with more favorable terms like longer repayment periods and lower credit score requirements compared to other business loans. However, the long application process and strict lending requirements, including proper business insurance, sometimes prevents business owners from taking advantage of these loans.  The SBA requires specific business insurance coverage depending on the loan and type of business. While these requirements may vary, some common policies that the SBA may ask for include:  * Workers Compensation * General Liability  * Professional Liability  * Property Insurance  With Coverdash, fulfilling these insurance requirements becomes seamless. Users can instantly compare accurately tailored quotes from over 30 of the nation’s largest carriers, purchase the best policy to instantly fulfill coverage requirements, and improve SBA loan prospects without ever needing to leave Celtic Bank’s site. By abstracting the need to contact a broker or carrier with the ability to buy necessary insurance on the spot, Coverdash drastically reduces loan application times for users.  Coverdash has partnered with dozens of lenders and funding platforms that require business insurance to streamline the loan issuance process. Decreasing time to close by an average of 45% and as much as 65%, Coverdash’s embedded insurance solution has helped increase overall loan issuance by 10% to 15% for lending partners.  Our partnership with Celtic Bank simplifies the insurance process, accelerating loan issuance and getting businesses access to funds faster.
