Go-to-market combines wholesale brokerage channels serving retail brokers, direct enterprise field sales for large commercial clients, and self-serve online quoting for mid-market segments. The firm operates from 55 offices throughout the US and Canada with 1,800 employees and has grown primarily through serial acquisitions across verticals since 2021.

Upon completion, One80 will form part of Brown & Brown's new specialty distribution segment. Leadership includes co-founder and president Matthew Power, COO Ed Lopes, and managing director Martin Burlingame.
