Founded in 2008, Brightway Insurance is a rapidly growing, technology-enabled insurance distribution platform. Following the acquisition of GlobalGreen Insurance Agency in late 2025, Brightway now has more than $1.7 billion in annual written premium, making us the 2nd largest agency franchise network in the country.
Brightway was founded on a simple but powerful vision of people helping people.
From day one, our co-founders built a culture centered on creating mutually beneficial outcomes for agents, clients, and carriers.
As we continue to grow and adapt to a changing world, our core belief remains the same—we all achieve success when we help others reach their full potential.
Brothers David and Michael Miller launched Brightway Insurance to empower independent agents and create opportunities for entrepreneurs while delivering unmatched value to consumers. Hear directly from them about how they turned their vision of people helping people into a scalable, industry-leading business.
The Founders Award recognizes Agents and Producers who exemplify our core philosophy—prioritizing the success of others and strengthening the entire Brightway ecosystem.
Honorees demonstrate:
• Exceptional leadership
• Selflessness
• A commitment to creating long-term value for clients, agents, and carriers
At Brightway, we celebrate those who uplift others—because when one of us succeeds, we all do.
