Background
Important verification note: The stub data described this contact as a "Co-founder and Managing Director" / "Angel Investor" doing "Seed Round" deals. That framing is not supported by any source I could find and appears to be misattributed or fabricated CRM data. The verifiable contact details point to a very different person and role, and I have not invented an angel-investor persona to fill the template.
The email domain `awac.com` and the phone number `+1 (860) 284-1300` both belong to Allied World Assurance Company (Allied World Insurance Company), a global commercial insurance and reinsurance provider and a subsidiary of Fairfax Financial Holdings. The Farmington, Connecticut number is Allied World's U.S. office line. The person matching `[hidden]` is Robert John "Bob" Larson, who served as Vice President, Finance and U.S. Treasurer at Allied World. A 2014 Delaware Department of Insurance examination report lists him as Treasurer and Vice President, Finance of Allied World Assurance Company (U.S.) Inc., and business databases (Apollo, RocketReach) corroborate the title.
Bob Larson's public LinkedIn profile now describes him as retired from Allied World Insurance Company, indicating he has stepped back from his corporate finance/treasury role. His documented career is in insurance-company finance and treasury functions — not early-stage venture or angel investing.
I found no evidence that this Robert Larson is a startup angel investor, a co-founder of a venture fund, or a managing director of an angel group. (Searches for a "Robert Larson angel investor" surface unrelated individuals — e.g., Robert E. Larson of Acacia Capital in real estate, and a Cascade Investment executive — none of whom use the `awac.com` domain.)
Investment Thesis & Focus
- No angel or venture investment thesis could be verified for this person. His professional domain is insurance-company finance and treasury, not startup investing.
- The "Seed Round" stage and "Angel Investors" role in the source stub are unsupported by any evidence and should be treated as an error until independently confirmed.
Notable Investments
- None found. No portfolio companies, angel deals, or venture rounds are attributable to this Robert Larson in any public source.
