Supercharging Insurance Distribution: Stere Partners with mShift to Connect Products from MGA & Carriers with Intelligent Distribution

Insights

March 29, 2026

At Stere, our mission is to empower insurers and MGAs to achieve strategic freedom by building products in weeks, not years, and distributing them infinitely. Today, we are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Millennial Shift Technologies (mShift).

By combining Stere’s API-first Insurance Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) with mShift’s marketplace distribution ecosystem, we are creating a seamless, end-to-end pathway connecting MGA / Carrier products directly to distribution.

A Unified Digital Workflow for the Modern MGA

In today's fast-paced insurance landscape, eliminating friction across the insurance lifecycle is critical. Through this integration, MGAs can launch new programs on Stere's platform in just 3-4 weeks and distribute them immediately through mShift Marketplace storefronts.

However, speed to market is only half the equation; the quality of the data is just as important. mShift's Quantum AI tackles this by automatically ingesting, extracting, and structuring complex submission data at intake. By transforming unstructured risk information into clean, underwriting-ready data, mShift significantly reduces manual processing and improves submission quality.

This structured data flows directly into Stere's platform, routing seamlessly into our intelligent underwriting workbench and policy administration systems. This allows our clients to bypass manual handoffs, accelerate underwriting decision-making, and scale across diverse distribution channels via a single API suite.

A Word from Our CEO

"Stere was built to liberate insurers and MGAs from the constraints of legacy technology," said Dogan Kaleli, founder and CEO Stere. "By partnering with mShift, we are ensuring that the products our clients build in weeks are fueled by high-quality, structured AI data from day one, allowing them to achieve radical speed-to-market and unparalleled operational efficiency."

Key Capabilities Unlocked by the Stere x mShift Partnership

  • Radical Speed to Market: Rapid product creation and deployment in just 3-4 weeks.
  • Infinite Scalability: Infinite distribution scale powered by Stere's Comprehensive API Suite and 'build once, distribute anywhere' architecture.
  • Cost Efficiency: A 6x lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional core systems.
  • Intelligent Underwriting Workflow: AI-powered ingestion, data extraction, and enrichment via mShift Quantum AI, transforming unstructured submissions into normalized, underwriting-ready data.
  • Accelerated Timelines: Seamless routing of risks from intake through underwriting and placement, accelerating quote, bind, and policy issuance timelines.
  • Enterprise-Grade Security: Complete trust and security backed by Stere’s SOCII and ISO 27001 certifications.

Looking Ahead

This partnership highlights our shared vision to modernize insurance infrastructure by unifying product creation, distribution, and data into a single digital ecosystem. Together with mShift, Stere is enabling a faster, more scalable model that empowers brokers, MGAs, and carriers to operate with greater speed, efficiency, and precision.
