Two weeks post-retreat, this insurtech company broke company performance records. See how Pathpoint united their distributed team for unprecedented success.
As a fast-growing insurtech company, Pathpoint operates as the first open digital wholesale brokerage for the E&S industry. With a team split between San Francisco and remote locations across the U.S., senior leadership recognized the need for an in-person retreat to build relationships and strengthen company culture.
Pathpoint needed a destination that was accessible, scenic, and suitable for team bonding. They initially considered Park City but found venue availability limited. Flok stepped in and recommended Vail, Colorado—a picturesque mountain town with the ideal mix of outdoor activities and boutique accommodations. Sonnenalp Hotel provided the perfect setting for a successful retreat.

Pathpoint turned to Flok to handle the retreat’s logistics and ensure the event aligned with their goals of fostering deeper connections. From securing ideal accommodations to coordinating team activities, Flok took on the heavy lifting, allowing Pathpoint’s leadership to focus on team building rather than event planning.
Flok’s expertise in planning retreats for high-growth startups set them apart from traditional corporate event planners.
“We knew we needed to outsource planning since our staff was too busy,” explains Rahul Desai, Pathpoint’s Chief of Staff. “Flok took the burden off our shoulders and they were definitely willing to go beyond the basics. I think they have a better understanding of what startups are looking for in a retreat, versus the large corporate event planning companies.”
Beyond logistics, the retreat proved to be an invaluable investment in Pathpoint’s culture. Employees returned home energized, having formed deeper personal connections with colleagues.
According to Desai, “In the two weeks after the retreat, we set records on some of our most important company metrics.”
With plans to host retreats every six months—potentially even quarterly—Pathpoint sees offsites as a critical tool for sustaining company momentum and reinforcing team cohesion.
