What Pibit.ai does

Pibit.ai is an SF - based insurtech company reconstructing the art (and science) of commercial underwriting for carriers and MGAs. At the heart is the CURE™ platform, the industry’s only centralized underwriting risk environment fueled by agentic underwriting services that delivers decision-ready outcomes. It converts submissions into decisions by automating intake, triage, and data enrichment from documents and external sources while surfacing risk insights so you can win the right accounts faster, scale throughput, and reduce loss ratios. Backed by Y-Combinator, the proprietary platform serves dozens of clients across the US, enabling 85% faster underwriting, 32% increase in GWP per underwriter, and up to 700 basis points improvement in loss ratios.

Faster decisions from submissions in insurance underwriting

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

We built CURE™, a platform that automates commercial insurance underwriting. It takes submissions, automates intake, triage, and enriches data from documents and external sources to surface risk insights. Our product delivers decision-ready outcomes to carriers and MGAs, helping underwriters win better accounts faster and reduce loss ratios.

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

We live in San Francisco, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the financial and tech hub for our product and clients. Being close to carriers and MGAs allows hands-on collaboration and faster iteration.
