Propeller: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)

Propeller is an MGA that specialises in the $6 billion surety and fidelity bond market. We use a patented surety technology that allows us to immediately underwrite and issue surety bonds, which benefits everyone in the value chain (carriers, agents, customers, and obligees) We make surety sales for brokers and agents easier while still paying commission. We accomplish this by allowing agencies to brand our surety platform. This works for both seasoned surety specialists who can write more bonds with less effort and agents without surety knowledge who can earn commission by just referring their clients to the portal. The Agents can then take advantage of their current client base, email lists, and website traffic.

About FundedIQ's Propeller Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Propeller is left off this page rather than filled in.
