We've reached a huge milestone at Tropolis, as Paul Murphy and 360 Risk Management have become our first partner agency.
James, Benjamin, and I started Tropolis because we believe the insurance brokerage industry has tremendous potential and see an opportunity to support smaller agencies with the dizzying pace of change.
Tropolis will not work, however, unless we have partners who are passionate about their businesses and have a growth mindset. Our business model depends on finding partners who have already succeeded in building successful agencies but are committed to growing and learning going forward.
That's why it has been such a pleasure getting to know Paul, who is an absolutely ideal partner for us. He and his excellent team at 360 Risk Management, Inc. have built a great business.
He also believes, as we do, that 360 has so much potential to grow in the communities they serve.
I'll share more about our partnership with 360 going forward.
For now, we're excited to have our first partnership deal done and are looking for more Paul Murphys.
Thank you to everyone who helped the deal come together:
- Paul, Holly, Jessica, and the entire 360 Risk Management team;
- John, Hannah, Bobby, Bryan, and the rest of the team at Unity Partners;
Kirkland & Ellis; Asenti Diligence Partners LLC, Knox McLaughlin Gornall & Sennett, P.C., Insight Tax Advisors, and Adam Reed.
We will have plenty more updates in the coming months as new agency partners join us.
