Company
Catamaran
The AI-powered risk decision platform
We built Catamaran to centralize internal and external risk data into one workspace. It automates gathering, checking, and scenario testing of risk information so insurers, reinsurers, brokers, and investors can understand and manage their risks faster. We also offer a regulated marketplace to buy, sell, and manage insurance coverage easily.
We live in London, England, and that's where the company is based and will remain after YC.
We chose London because it's a global hub for insurance and finance, which gives us direct access to our key users and industry expertise.
