Inc. Names Counterpart a 2026 Power Partner for Supporting Small Businesses

Business Wire

Annual award recognizes B2B companies helping entrepreneurs and businesses navigate challenges, manage risk and grow

LOS ANGELES, October 20, 2026--Counterpart, the AI-native insurance platform providing management and professional liability solutions to small businesses, has been named a 2026 Inc. Power Partner Awards winner. Previously recognized in 2023, Counterpart is once again being honored for its work helping businesses navigate risk and grow.

The annual Inc. Power Partner Awards recognize B2B companies that help entrepreneurs and business owners tackle the challenges of running and growing a business. Past honorees include Anthropic, BILL and Acumatica. Winners are selected based on customer feedback and research conducted by Inc., with the awards spanning industries including financial services, technology, marketing and business consulting.

Counterpart is reimagining how small businesses access and manage commercial insurance. Through its Agentic Insurance™ platform, the company combines experienced insurance professionals with AI-powered underwriting, broker services, risk mitigation and claims management to help businesses navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape. By streamlining traditionally time-consuming insurance processes and equipping brokers with better tools and insights, Counterpart helps make essential protection more accessible to growing businesses.

"Business owners have no shortage of tools at their disposal, and B2B companies need to make clear why their products and services are worth the investment," said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. "The companies on this year's Power Partners list have done just that. They don't just have customers – they have superfans and evangelists. Across industries like marketing, financial services, and technology, they've proved their dedication to helping fellow business owners grow and succeed."

"Small business owners should spend their time building their companies, not decoding their insurance," said Tanner Hackett, CEO of Counterpart. "We built Counterpart to give them better protection and give their brokers better tools. Our AI handles the heavy lifting so brokers can focus on advice and relationships. This recognition from Inc. belongs as much to our broker partners and the businesses that trust them."

Counterpart's approach extends beyond the initial insurance transaction. Its management and professional liability solutions address risks involving company leadership, employees and professional services, while additional tools and resources help businesses identify and mitigate potential exposures. The platform is supported by relationships with some of the world's largest insurance carriers and brokers.
