About Openly
Openly's Roots
We created Openly because we saw a gap in the market for premium insurance made simple. We rebuilt the insurance technology and operations stack to create a remarkably simple product for agents with robust coverage for consumers.
O•pen•ly adverb
/ˈəʊp(e)nli/
Without concealment, deception or prevarication, especially where these might not be expected; frankly or honestly.
The technical definition is a great reflection of our culture and what we are aiming to bring to the insurance marketplace.
Openly's Beginnings
Openly was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 2017 by Ty Harris and Matt Wielbut. Ty, after working for Liberty Mutual as Chief Product Officer, and Matt, coming from Goldman Sachs as VP of Technology (as well as several successful entrepreneurial endeavors), saw a need for premium insurance made simple. Ty and Matt knew that they could combine insurance expertise, actuarial science, and machine learning, AI, and other cutting-edge technology, to create something better within the insurance marketplace.
With innovative coverage options and radically simplified processes, Openly has grown rapidly, expanding to 21 states and 300+ employees.
Follow along as Openly continues to grow and evolve into the future, challenging the insurance status quo.
