Arden Insurance Services LLC (Arden) is a tech-enabled Managing General Agent (MGA) powered by human intelligence. Founded in 2016, Arden has grown exponentially, leveraging cutting-edge technology and a lean, expert-driven team to become a leading commercial property insurance provider across 11 U.S. states. In just eight years, and with a team of only 40 employees, Arden has surpassed $300 million in in-force premium. Arden recognizes that its success is rooted in its people. The company offers industry-leading benefits, but it is the unique long-term incentive program that sets it apart. As Arden grows, leadership has prioritized shared success through a profits interest program that rewards each employee for the value created by the collective team. Arden’s strong culture and focus on putting its employees first have resulted in an exceptionally low voluntary turnover rate of only 2%. The company is committed to promoting from within, and managers work closely with team members to build personalized career tracks that align with individual goals and offer clear pathways for growth. Because Arden is a fully remote company, it offers flexible working hours and employs people across eight U.S. states—from its home base in California all the way to New York. Despite the geographical distance, Arden creates regular opportunities for employees to connect, including a weekly all-company Zoom and quarterly in-person off-sites. The team’s cohesion and performance have not only fueled Arden’s rapid growth—they’ve also earned the company industry recognition. For the third year in a row, Arden is a finalist for The Insurer’s MGA of the Year award. The company also won The Insurer’s 2024 Innovation in E&S award and was named a 2024 Insurance Luminary by P&C 360 in the Coverage Innovation category.
