Florida's smartest homeowners insurer trades like a dying carrier while quietly turning into a software company with a captive insurance book.
Where HCI is headed
HCI in 2028 looks nothing like the Tampa homeowners insurer Wall Street still prices it as. The Exzeo software business, which spun into a separately identified segment after the 2024 carve-out, is on track to run at $150M+ ARR by late 2027, selling policy admin, claims management and geospatial risk tools to other carriers who cannot build this stack themselves. That is the real story. The insurance book is the customer zero, not the product. Meanwhile the reciprocal exchange (TypTap Insurance and the newer Tailrow) lets HCI grow premium without eating the capital charge, because policyholders technically own the risk. HCI collects fees. It is the same trick Berkshire pulled with GEICO's float, dressed for the 2020s.
