Mike Lloyd launches Pine View Insurance Group

Mike Lloyd, the co-founder and former COO of cyber insurance startup Corvus Insurance, is introducing his new venture – Pine View Insurance Group.

The new insurance agency was built as the first incubation project from Lloyd’s Five Bays Capital, an investor and incubator of companies with a focus on P&C insurance. The agency is on a mission to set “a new standard” for the high-net-worth insurance experience and it will offer a range of coverages including home, auto, umbrella, yacht, D&O, and cyber insurance.

Pine View claims that it works with multiple carriers such as Chubb, PURE, BerkleyOne, Cincinnati Insurance, and AIG.

The Pine View team includes Michael Horowitz as founding partner; John Watkins as private client advisor (previously spent 14 years at Hub); and former Corvus employee Noah Sneath as director of marketing.

In 2023, Travelers acquired Corvus for ~$435 million.
