Company
PRINCEPS
AI-native insurance for compute, SLA, GPU, outages.
PRINCEPS is an AI-native insurance platform built for data centers and neoclouds in the compute economy. We underwrite and price insurance covering SLA breach, GPU residual value, and outage risk - risks that are poorly covered (or not covered at all) by legacy insurers. Our platform lets operators get coverage tailored to their compute stack, making it easier and cheaper for them to access financing at scale.
We are based in London, England, and the company would remain based there after YC.
London is emerging as a global hub for both insurance and AI infrastructure. Most of our early customers - data centers and neocloud operators - are building or expanding operations across Europe, so it makes sense for us to stay close to the market.
