AI-native commercial insurance broker

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building an AI-native commercial insurance brokerage. Our platform lets brokers focus on client relationships and closing deals while AI automates the operational tasks like underwriting and policy management behind the scenes.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are distributed for now. After YC, we'll base the company where it makes the most sense for talent and insurance industry access, likely in a major fintech hub.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being distributed allows us flexibility and access to global talent. Post-YC, we want to be in a location that offers insurance market proximity and hiring advantages.
