Venture Insurance Programs offers a specialized Bio Technology Insurance program built for the unique exposures of technology and biotechnology firms. This Workers’ Compensation-focused program pairs tailored comp coverage with risk management services designed for companies working in lab environments, medical device manufacturing, health-tech software, cloud infrastructure, and pharmaceutical R&D.
Overview of the Program From Venture Insurance Programs
Built for innovation-driven industries, Venture’s Bio Technology Insurance program is structured to evolve with your clients’ operations. The program emphasizes Workers’ Compensation protection and loss control for companies where traditional comp policies may not fully address lab hazards, field testing, or high-tech manufacturing risks. Underwriting is handled by a team experienced in emerging technologies and the operational risks common to biotech and health-tech firms.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program targets mid-sized to large technology and biotechnology employers—particularly accounts with 50 or more employees. Ideal classes include:
- Biotechnology research and development companies
- Pharmaceutical testing and R&D laboratories
- Medical device design and manufacturing
- Health-tech software and hardware developers (wearables, diagnostic equipment)
- Internet service, data center and cloud infrastructure providers supporting health applications
Example: You might have a client in California with 75 employees developing wearable medical devices. Venture’s program is designed to help you place that account competitively while addressing lab testing and manufacturing exposures.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
- Workers’ Compensation coverage tailored to technology and biotech exposures
- Integrated risk management resources and loss-control support specific to lab and manufacturing hazards
- Competitive premiuming for qualifying mid-to-large accounts
- Responsive underwriting from a technology-focused team familiar with biotech operations
The program is intended to fill gaps where standard comp programs may not adequately address the combination of laboratory, field testing, and precision manufacturing risks common to biotech and medical device firms.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Venture generally prefers accounts with at least 50 employees and looks for clients with formal safety and loss-control programs.

Be prepared to submit detailed loss runs, class description, and a summary of safety procedures for lab or manufacturing operations.
