Managing Risk — Insurance Policies and Program Design
In this episode of Bulletproof Your Marketplace, Jeremy Gottschalk dives into one of the most critical yet often misunderstood aspects of scaling digital platforms: insurance program and policy design.
Joined by Garrett Johnston, Senior Vice President at Marsh with more than 25 years of experience in the commercial insurance industry, They explore how insurance can serve not just as a compliance requirement but as a strategic tool for managing risk, building user trust, and driving sustainable growth. Drawing on deep expertise working with major platforms like Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash, the conversation highlights how thoughtful insurance design can shape customer experience, regulatory relationships, and long-term scalability. Together, they unpack why partnering with brokers who truly understand the marketplace model is essential, the common pitfalls that lead to misaligned or overpriced coverage, and the core policies every startup should understand — including general liability, directors and officers (D&O), cyber, and errors and omissions (E&O).
This episode offers a clear, actionable framework for founders, legal leaders, and trust and safety professionals seeking to balance innovation with protection and build marketplaces that are safer, stronger, and more resilient.
