Travis Pine

In 2005, Travis founded Torrent Technologies, where he architected the industry’s leading technology, Torrent Flood™. Torrent quickly grew to the 2nd largest service and technology provider during his leadership, in this highly regulated and complex market, with over $1.5 billion in premium, 26 carrier-clients and nearly 400 employees before selling it to Marsh USA in November of 2014.  Torrent is currently the industry’s largest flood vendor at an estimated $2.5 billion.

Most recently, Travis stood up Solstice Innovations, the latest Insurtech disrupter, bringing new technology and “software-as-a-service” (SaaS) to the insurance industry in several lines of business, including Homeowners and Flood. He founded this company, along with former Torrent leaders and launched their flagship product, Equinox, in 2021.

Prior to becoming a pioneer and innovator in the Insurtech space, Travis leveraged his dual-discipline degree in Computer Science and Accounting with Arthur Andersen’s Technology Risk division. From there he quickly moved into the fast-growing dot-com boom in Seattle where he co-founded multiple early-stage tech companies, including online department store, Azazz! (acquired by theglobe.com) as well as cutting-edge digital media company, HitHive.com – the genesis of iTunes.

Travis owns Lone Pine Holdings, LLC., where he invests, advises, coaches, and helps incubate early-stage tech companies. He splits time between Montana, Florida and Seattle, where his 3 daughters live.
