CLAIMS EXAMPLES
Venture firms and their portfolio clients experience heightened exposures at an earlier stage.
Case Study
Incident
A founder of an underperforming fintech company in your portfolio sues you for alleged conflict of interest, claiming that you shared confidential information with another fintech company in your portfolio.
Resolution
The D&O and E&O coverages within the GPL policy would cover legal fees and settlements, saving the fund and you from personal financial burden.
Incident
An LP sues a fund for holding an investment for an improper period of time, causing financial harm, despite representations made about the strategies for managing and divesting from investments.
Resolution
The GPL policy's E&O coverage covered legal fees and settlements.
Incident
A state securities regulator launches an investigation into a VC firm for allegedly collecting excessive management fees without proper disclosure to their LPs.
Resolution
The GPL policy's D&O coverage covered legal fees related to the regulatory investigation, protecting the VC firm from personal financial burden and allowing them to focus on resolving the issue.
Project management software startup
Incident
The CFO of a startup makes an error in the preparation of financial statements that were used in a funding round. A major shareholder investor learns of the error and sues, alleging material misrepresentation.
Resolution
The D&O policy covers the costs to defend the lawsuit, the settlement, and the investor's legal fees. Because Vouch does not exclude suits brought from major shareholders, this claim is covered, even though the lawsuit was brought by an investor.
Software testing platform startup
Incident
A startup that provides software testing tools experiences a breach when attackers are able to take advantage of an error in how the startup built docker images, potentially allowing attackers access to customers’ sensitive data.
Resolution
The Cyber policy covers the costs for a computer forensic investigation, public relations advice, and claims by customers for the cost to conduct their own forensic investigation.
Billing software startup
Incident
A startup sells their invoice and billing software to a client. After using the software, the client learns they have been sending invoices with incorrect amounts to their customers. They allege that the startup made errors in the design and implementation of their software.
Resolution
The E&O policy covers the costs to defend the allegation. The matter is settled after the startup agrees to a monetary settlement, including the client's legal fees.
