AI Verification for Insurance

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

We build an AI insurance adjuster that verifies claims using real-time and historical data streams like satellite imagery. Our product helps insurers process claims immediately instead of waiting for manual inspections. We currently focus on verifying crop insurance claims to reduce fraud and speed up payouts.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and Verdex will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the technical talent and investor community we need to develop our AI and grow the company. It's also where both founders live and work now, so it makes sense to stay here.
