What Tesora does

Tesora builds agents for actuaries at P&C carriers, reinsurers, and MGAs. The agentic workbench ingests loss runs, SOVs, broker submissions, and SERFF filings, then builds, audits, and deploys raters and pricing analyses with a SOX-grade audit trail and ASOP-aligned reviews. Chief actuaries and heads of pricing use Tesora to replace the spreadsheet-and-email assembly between an actuarial idea and a deployed rate.

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

We build agentic workbenches that ingest loss runs, SOVs, broker submissions, and SERFF filings to automate building, auditing, and deploying raters and pricing analyses for actuaries. Our system produces a SOX-grade audit trail and ASOP-aligned reviews, replacing manual spreadsheet-and-email workflows between actuarial ideas and deployed rates.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and Tesora will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team and initial customers are located; the insurance pricing community is centered here, and we have access to industry experts and capital.
