We are thrilled to continue this growth and to bring the entire Tarian team on board, as they share our mission to make the world a safer place.” – Phil Edmundson, Founder and CEO of Corvus Insurance.

“We founded Tarian as a group with extensive market experience that saw an opportunity to set up a customer-centric company that was focused on entrepreneurial and tailored solutions to improve the standard of cyber and technology insurance risk. Now as a part of Corvus, and with greater access to its data-driven insurance technologies, we can continue our founding mission and support our policyholders as one, dynamic team.” – Geoff Pryor-White, CEO of Tarian.

“Beat businesses are formed around leading underwriting talent, and Tarian was one of our very first investments. We are pleased to support the acquisition of Tarian by Corvus. We recognize that in the dynamic world of cyber insurance, the importance of combining underwriting talent with technological investment has become increasingly apparent. The data-driven, cyber technologies of the Corvus Risk Aggregation Platform will provide the Tarian team with best-in-class technology to support its differentiated underwriting proposition.” – John Cavanagh, Chairman at Beat Capital.
