Our approach

Insurance work that keeps up with the physical product.

Stanford Coverage organizes the changing facts around a hardware company—before a customer, investor, manufacturer, or renewal deadline makes the conversation urgent.

Leadership

Built around the questions that matter at the next stage.

President

William Caldwell

Leads Stanford Coverage’s robotics and hardware startup insurance program.

Vice President

Catherine Brooks

Guides account preparation and commercial insurance comparisons for growing technology companies.

Director

David Whitfield

Oversees coverage-review work for product, property, cyber, and contractual risk questions.

The working method

Clear inputs. Direct comparisons. A record worth keeping.

01 / Establish the facts

We start with the product, locations, equipment, customer commitments, and operating changes that are true now.

02 / Ask document-level questions

Customer contracts, property schedules, applications, policy forms, and endorsements are compared as documents—not summaries.

03 / Preserve the decision record

We organize the final terms, open questions, and next review point so future funding, procurement, and renewal work starts from a controlled file.
