Our story

Twenty years of building startups. Now, insurance.

We've spent two decades doing the thing insurance now has to learn: building products and companies from zero, under pressure, with real money on the line. Now we bring it to the people building MGAs, insurtechs, and brokerages.

  1. 2006

    Nolte is founded, building digital products for founders.

  2. 2021

    We build a full pet insurance MGA stack for Odie: policy admin, rating, quote-bind-issue, carrier integrations, and 50-state bordereaux. Odie goes from zero to Series A.

  3. 2026

    Nolte focuses entirely on insurance.

Why insurance

Insurance runs on dates that don't move and logic that can't be wrong. For most of its history it rented its technology and shaped its business around someone else's roadmap. That is changing. MGAs launch on fresh capacity, insurtechs raise on roadmaps, brokerages compete with digital natives. They all have to build like startups now, and most don't have the people to do it. We've been those people for twenty years.

What twenty years taught us

Healthcare, fintech, wellness, consumer, and media. Every build made us better at the one we do now.
