What Captive Insurance of MedStar Health does

Captive.com is a web-based educational portal serving captive insurance professionals, owned and operated by International Risk Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI), a private Texas corporation headquartered at 12222 Merit Drive, Suite 1600, Dallas, TX 75251-2266. The platform delivers content through a website, the daily Captive Wire email newsletter, the Edge of Risk podcast hosted by Joel Appelbaum, and continuing education courses, covering captive insurance fundamentals, operations, governance, compliance, financial reporting, and professional development.

The platform's core product is an educational content library organized around Captives 101 (basics, glossary, history), Captive Operations (HR, management, corporate governance, finance and accounting, InsurTech, videos), Captive Services (service provider directory), Domiciles (10+ featured U.S. states including Vermont, Delaware, Iowa, Missouri, Arizona, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, and DC), and Education & Events. Premium content is delivered through IRMI subscription publications including Captive Insurance Company Reports (CICR), Risk Financing, Captives and the Management of Risk, and Captive Practices and Procedures. The underlying technology is a standard website/content platform with no proprietary AI or technology stack disclosed.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: subscription-based access to advanced IRMI publications, and a sponsorship/advertising program with two tiers offering visibility to captive owners, managers, and advisers on the website and in the Captive Wire newsletter. Pricing for subscriptions is not publicly disclosed. The platform serves captive insurance professionals (owners, managers, advisers) and operates only within the United States and its territories per its Terms of Use. The company has 11-50 employees and operates as a wholly-owned digital platform within the IRMI organization, with no evidence of external investors, private equity involvement, or public listing.

Broad incumbents

• WebCE: WebCE is an insurance continuing education provider affiliated with IRMI offering CE courses across P&C and life/health lines. Comparable as an insurance education platform within the same IRMI ecosystem and addresses the same captive professional audience for ongoing credentialing.
• A.M. Best: A.M. Best is an established insurance industry information and credit rating provider covering insurers including captives. Comparable as an information-services incumbent in the broader insurance/risk space, though it does not specialize in captive education.

Others

• International Risk Management Institute (IRMI): IRMI is the parent organization that owns and operates Captive.com and provides insurance/risk management reference publications and certification programs (CRIS, MLIS, ERIS, AFIS, TRIP, MRIS). Listed as an 'other' because it is the corporate parent rather than an external competitor.

Direct peers

• Captive Review: Captive Review provides news, features, and events for the global captive insurance industry including awards, conferences, and special reports. Overlaps directly with Captive.com's editorial and event calendar offerings for captive owners and managers.
• Insurance Journal: Insurance Journal is a daily news publication serving the property/casualty insurance industry with deep coverage of commercial lines, captives, and risk management. Comparable as a content-led information platform targeting insurance professionals.
• Self-Insurance Institute of America (SIIA): SIIA is a trade association for the self-insurance/captive insurance industry offering education, advocacy, conferences, and member resources. Directly comparable as a captive-focused education and community platform and is itself a featured service provider on Captive.com.
• Business Insurance: Business Insurance is a long-running trade publication covering commercial insurance, risk management, and employee benefits. It competes for the same risk manager and captive owner audience and offers news, rankings, and events parallel to Captive.com.
• Risk & Insurance: Risk & Insurance is a B2B media brand covering commercial risk management, including captive insurance and alternative risk transfer. Comparable as a multi-channel content platform serving risk and insurance professionals with editorial, events, and awards programs.
• Captive Insurance Times: Captive Insurance Times is a digital news and analysis publication dedicated exclusively to the captive insurance industry. It directly competes with Captive.com for the same captive professional audience through editorial coverage, events, and industry intelligence.
