When Dan Vaughan and his business partner launched Gallant Risk & Insurance Services in 2012, they had a clear vision for the firm they wanted to build.
By the time they connected with Endeavor Bank, Gallant was established and ready to scale. Dan brought his business model to our team for straightforward feedback and strategic guidance. Together, we talked through expansion plans, pressure-tested key decisions, and reviewed capital options to support smart growth.
One pivotal recommendation was to pursue an angel investor rather than traditional bank financing at that stage. We made a direct introduction to an investor who became a silent partner and helped accelerate the firm’s progress.
As Gallant continued to grow, we introduced key clients and helped open doors to new market segments.
Today, Gallant Risk has 33 employees and places $75 million in annual insurance premiums — growth built on strong leadership, clear strategy, and the right partnerships.
