“Castle took the hassle out of VC insurance for us—reviewing multiple options, saving us money, and freeing up dozens of hours so we could focus on what really matters: backing great founders.”
— Tom Seo, Founder of Inverted Capital
Inverted Capital is a pre-seed fintech venture capital fund focused on empowering early-stage startups with strategic capital and support.

Risk Management: Ensuring proper coverage for directors & officers (D&O) and other relevant policies to protect the fund and its leadership.
