Чем занимается Valgo

Insurers struggle to price autonomous systems because the historical data simply doesn't exist. Your car insurance draws from over 30 billion claims records, but autonomous trucks and robots have nearly zero. Valgo is the risk quantification platform that closes that gap. We are building probabilistic models of routes, tasks, and environments from the bottom up. We output a simulated loss estimate that insurers need to price coverage. Valgo is the foundational layer that gives insurance providers confidence to properly price autonomy risk. Our team combines expertise in risk estimation for autonomy with deep experience in the insurance industry. Sydney and Robert are Stanford PhDs with leading expertise in safety of physical AI systems. Sydney wrote the textbook on validating safety-critical systems and teaches the course at Stanford. Robert spent 7 years at MIT Lincoln Laboratory on the core team that designed and validated an FAA-certified aircraft collision avoidance system, now a worldwide standard. Jon is a Sloan Fellow from the Stanford GSB and an actuary who spent over 12 years in insurance leadership and led over $5 billion in M&A as head of corporate development for one of the largest insurers in Asia-Pacific.

Insurance risk layer for physical AI

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

We build probabilistic models simulating autonomous routes, tasks, and environments to estimate loss events. Our platform outputs simulated loss estimates insurers use to price coverage for autonomous trucks and robots, where no historical claims data exists.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based there after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team resides and where the concentration of insurance and autonomy technology companies is highest, making it the best location for product development and customer engagement.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Valgo в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Valgo (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Valgo представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
