About Redpoint Travel Protection

Redpoint Travel Protection was founded by Tom Bochnowski and Ted Muhlner, childhood friends with backgrounds in military service, strategy, finance, and evacuation operations. The company was born to revolutionize the travel insurance industry by combining elite on-trip services with traditional travel insurance programs. Redpoint offers comprehensive travel protection solutions, including traveler assistance, medical evacuations, security extractions, and a wide range of travel insurance coverages under one unified service umbrella.

Founding Principles

Redpoint was established on the principles of authenticity and trust. The founders aimed to build a team with real-world travel experience and the expertise to solve complex travel-related problems. The goal was to create a service-forward model that prioritizes customer experience in all aspects of the business, from sales and marketing to assistance services and claims processing.

Our Founders

Tom Bochnowski and Ted Muhlner have been friends since first grade, sharing a passion for sports and adventure. Diverse backgrounds in military service, finance, and evacuation operations provided the perfect foundation for Redpoint. The team later expanded to include former insurance executives.

A Brief History

Redpoint’s early days were marked by a pivotal moment during a charity climb on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Founders successfully coordinated a high-altitude rescue, showcasing Redpoint’s capabilities. This event, followed by Redpoint’s response to the 2015 Nepal earthquake, when the company evacuated numerous clients from the Everest region, catapulted Redpoint into the spotlight and solidified its reputation in the industry as an organization whose capabilities far surpass those of standard travel insurance companies.

Our Mission to Solve Travel Protection Challenges and Become Industry Leaders

Redpoint’s mission has evolved from focusing solely on adventure travelers to supporting all types of travel. The company aims to transform travel insurance from a reimbursement model to a comprehensive on-trip service. By leveraging technology and exceptional service, Redpoint strives to eliminate the complexity and pain often associated with travel-related insurance solutions.

Looking to the future, Redpoint aspires to become the best integrated, service-forward, and flexible travel insurance and protection company globally. The founders envision expanding into new travel markets to grow the company threefold.
