Dewar Insurance

What Dewar Insurance does

Dewar Insurance Agency, LLC is a 100% independent insurance agency founded in 2012 by Jesse Dewar and headquartered at 301 Arctic Slope Ave #101 in Anchorage, Alaska. The firm operates as a licensed broker representing more than thirteen insurance carriers — including Alaska National, Safeco, Berkshire Hathaway, CNA, Liberty Mutual, Progressive, Philadelphia Insurance, Umialik, Western National, Foremost, Hagerty, Selective Flood, and First Comp — and proactively shops and compares policies on behalf of customers rather than selling a single carrier's products.

The agency's product portfolio spans personal lines (auto, homeowners, condo, renters, life, health, Medicare supplement, boat/watercraft, recreational vehicle, and umbrella insurance) and commercial lines (business owners packages, commercial auto, business property, general liability, contractors insurance, workers compensation, bonds, and group benefits). The underlying technology stack consists of online self-service quote request forms on the agency website, carrier management/comparison platforms used to shop multiple carriers, and a blog/Google Reviews/Facebook presence for marketing. No public API, mobile app, proprietary platform, or AI/ML capability is described.

Revenue is generated through commissions earned from carriers on policies placed, with no subscription fees, retainer pricing, or disclosed financial figures. The customer base includes "hundreds of businesses" in Anchorage and throughout Alaska, plus an unspecified number of individual households; both customer testimonials on file are SMBs. The GTM motion is inside-sales driven: licensed insurance advisors handle quote requests submitted online or via phone, with the agency emphasizing local service, technology-driven quoting, and an annual-policy-review model rather than aggressive carrier-switching. The firm has no parent company, no external investors, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding history; ownership is concentrated with the founder.
