Bowhead Specialty launched its 'Baleen Specialty' technology-powered flow underwriting operation in May 2024. This new platform is designed for streamlined, tech-enabled, low-touch underwriting, focusing on small, niche, and hard-to-place risks within the Excess and Surplus (E&S) market.
The introduction of Baleen Specialty complements Bowhead's existing 'craft underwriting solutions' by providing a scalable avenue for future growth and efficiency. This dual strategy allows the company to address a broader spectrum of the specialty market.
The platform's early contribution was evident in its gross written premiums, which reached $3.38 million in Q2 2025 and $6.13 million for the first six months of 2025. These figures represented 1.5% of total gross written premiums in both periods, demonstrating its nascent but growing impact.
