Company Description
Reliance Global Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: RELI; warrants trading as RELIW) is described as an InsurTech company that applies artificial intelligence and cloud-based technologies to the insurance agency and brokerage industry. According to the company’s public disclosures, it focuses on transforming and improving efficiencies in how insurance agencies operate and how consumers access insurance products.
The company’s operations, as outlined in multiple news releases, span technology platforms and traditional agencies. Reliance Global Group states that it operates a business-to-business InsurTech platform called RELI Exchange, which provides independent insurance agencies with business development tools intended to help them compete with larger national agencies while reducing back-office cost and burden. It also operates a business-to-consumer platform, 5minuteinsure.com, which the company describes as using AI and data mining to deliver competitive online insurance quotes within minutes for consumers seeking auto, home, and life insurance.
In addition to its technology platforms, Reliance Global Group reports that it owns a portfolio of select retail “brick and mortar” insurance agencies in the United States. These agencies are characterized in company communications as leaders and pioneers in their respective regions and are said to offer a wide variety of insurance products. The company has also pursued an acquisition and divestiture strategy within the insurance agency space, including the sale of certain non-core agencies, as part of what it calls a balance sheet rationalization program and a focus on technology-forward operations.
Beyond its core insurance and InsurTech activities, Reliance Global Group has disclosed initiatives in digital assets and blockchain. Through what it calls a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy, the company has described acquiring and managing positions in digital assets and later consolidating its digital asset holdings into Zcash (ZEC), which it characterizes as a privacy-preserving cryptocurrency built on Bitcoin’s architecture. Company statements emphasize that this digital asset activity is intended to support a long-term capital and treasury strategy and to align with its broader interest in blockchain-related innovation.
The company has also reported the establishment of a Crypto Advisory Board to guide its Digital Asset Treasury and blockchain-related strategies. Public filings and press releases describe the Crypto Advisory Board as advising on digital asset allocation, treasury strategy, and other blockchain initiatives that the company associates with its InsurTech and financial operations.
Reliance Global Group has further announced the formation of EZRA International Group, which it describes as a new division focused on acquiring controlling stakes and accelerating growth of high-tech Israeli companies. According to the company, the initial focus areas for this division include cybersecurity, AI and data analytics, FinTech and InsurTech, as well as MedTech and digital health sectors. The company has indicated that this division is intended to pursue structured paths toward value realization, which may involve public listings, strategic spin-offs, or other monetization events.
In connection with EZRA International Group, Reliance Global Group has disclosed a non-binding term sheet to acquire a majority equity position in Scent Medical Technologies Ltd (Scentech), an Israeli diagnostics company. Company communications state that Scentech is developing artificial intelligence technologies aimed at identifying disease-associated molecular signatures in human breath. The company notes that Scentech’s product candidates, including VOX and VocTracer, are investigational, under development, and have not been clinically validated or cleared or approved for commercial use in any jurisdiction. Reliance Global Group has characterized this proposed transaction as the first strategic acquisition for EZRA International Group and as a potential entry into early disease detection markets, subject to clinical validation and regulatory approvals.
From a corporate finance perspective, Reliance Global Group’s SEC filings and press releases reference activities such as an at-the-market offering agreement, a common stock purchase agreement establishing an equity line of credit, and registration statements related to securities offerings, including Series A warrants. The company has also reported transactions involving the sale of certain subsidiaries and the use of proceeds to reduce debt and reinvest in its core technology platforms.
According to an earlier description of its business, Reliance Global Group has operated as a holding company with diversified interests in the insurance market and related sectors. That description notes a strategy of pursuing acquisitions of wholesale and retail insurance agencies, identifying what it calls risk–reward arbitrage opportunities, and generating revenue in the form of commissions. More recent company communications emphasize technology-enabled insurance distribution, digital asset treasury activities, and strategic investments through EZRA International Group.

At the same time, it has disclosed initiatives in digital assets and in acquiring stakes in technology-driven companies through EZRA International Group, indicating an interest in areas such as InsurTech, blockchain, cybersecurity, AI, data analytics, FinTech, MedTech, and digital health, as described in its news releases.
