The Problem
Scythe Robotics, which manufactures autonomous commercial mowers, faced complex contractual requirements from landowners and landscaping companies before contacting Koop in 2024. Specifically, the company lacked the required business insurance that would cover the autonomous movement of its mowers across commercial lawns and landscapes.
The Solution
Koop worked with Scythe to help it acquire Errors & Omissions, General Liability, Excess, and Inland Marine policies tailored to its autonomous mowers. This coverage suite proved effective for Scythe, which recently renewed and expanded its business insurance policies to support its growth in 2025 and beyond.
Looking Forward
Without the hurdles posed by contractual requirements, Scythe can confidently win customers at both public and private institutions alike. The company recently completed a public test of its mowers in partnership with a commercial landscaping company at a research university in Cleveland, Ohio.
Why Koop
Koop’s experience underwriting autonomous vehicles make it the ideal partner to support Scythe in removing barriers to deploying its commercial mowers.
