Slice is an InsurTech that helps carriers offer on-demand insurance through its Insurance Cloud Services platform, technology that relies on machine learning, big data technology and behavioral science expertise. As well, it also sells on-demand insurance including homeshare, rideshare and cyber cover.

Appalachian Underwriters offers an insurance wholesale brokerage outlet for agents looking to bring their clients a broad selection of products. It is a Nationwide MGA that specializes in Workers’ Compensation, Commercial Specialty, and Personal Lines products.

The two companies forged their partnership over the summer, working on products that leverage Slice’s ICS platform.
