What Parsewise does

Parsewise provides multi-document processing and analysis that you can embed in your own product. Operations teams use our platform for oversight and control over their fleet of AI agents, and our MCP to make Claude work at scale with traceability. Tech teams use our API to replace complex processing pipelines resolving values across documents. We help customers assess complex risk at scale: manage casualty, specialty, KYC, and financial risks, so teams can act faster and defend their decisions with confidence.

Multi-document processing for risk and AI teams

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

We build a multi-document processing platform that lets risk and operations teams analyze and extract data from large sets of documents at scale. Our API replaces brittle pipelines by resolving data across documents with traceability, enabling oversight of AI agents and improving risk assessments in finance and insurance.

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

We live and operate from London now, and will continue to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose London because of the concentration of finance and insurance professionals who directly use our product. Being close to customers managing casualty, specialty, KYC, and financial risks gives us better insight into their needs.
