Company
Coverage Cat
Consumer Optimized Insurance
We built an AI-native insurance broker that helps consumers understand and optimize their insurance policies. Our product analyzes coverage limits and finds ways to lower premiums. It combines AI-driven search and support with human agents, so users can get quick, accurate answers and finalize coverage for assets or homes.
Our team is based in New York, NY, with some remote members. After YC, the company would remain in New York and fully remote where needed.
New York has a solid insurance and fintech ecosystem, which fits our product and team. Remote work allows us to tap talent beyond the city while staying connected to the industry hub.
