Market position

The company describes itself as insurance-focused with a global footprint and customers on four continents, supported by institutional investors. It has been recognised in insurance technology rankings and awards, including InsurTech100 (2023 and 2025), CNBC's world's top 150 insurtech companies in 2024, BusinessCloud's UK InsurTech 50 (third in 2021, eighth in 2025), TechRound 100 2025 (#63), TechRound SaaS66 2025 (#28) and TechRound US50 2026 (#46), plus multiple Insurance Times awards.

Differentiation claims centre on exclusive focus on insurance, models trained on 7.5 million real claims and policy documents rather than synthetic data, seven-plus years of insurance-specific model training, explainable decisions referencing policy clauses for regulatory auditability, and deployment on top of incumbent core systems without requiring their replacement.

Technology

The platform combines optical character recognition and natural language processing for extraction from unstructured documents (PDFs, images, free-form notes), an external data enrichment pipeline drawing on more than 50 data categories such as weather, geolocation, medication and business information gathered via APIs, data-provider contracts and web crawlers, NLP-based policy coverage checking connected to legal and ombudsman databases, and deep learning/machine learning prediction models that recommend next best steps with justifications (described as Contextual AI). Later additions include computer vision, synthetic data techniques, natural language interpretation and understanding models for policy assessment, large language models for extracting coverage limits, clauses and exclusions, generalized end-to-end decisioning models and Live Agent flows. Models are stated to have been trained on 7.5 million real insurance claims and policy documents rather than synthetic data, and the system feeds recommendations back into insurers' existing claims platforms.

Go-to-market

The company sells directly to enterprise insurers, service providers, MGAs and TPAs, with demo requests as the primary inbound conversion route, and publishes ebooks and insight content on claims AI topics. It also distributes through technology partnerships and marketplaces, notably a live Guidewire ClaimCenter integration listed on the Guidewire Marketplace from June 2026. Proceeds of its 2023 raise were earmarked for go-to-market execution, growth and continued product and AI investment.

Insurance carriers, service providers, managing general agents and third-party administrators, spanning single-product providers and multi-line insurers across health, life and disability, motor and auto, home and property, and commercial lines.

Geography

Headquartered in London and founded there in 2018, with customers across four continents: the UK, Europe, the Americas and Japan. Market expansion followed a sequence of Japan pilots (2021), UK, Europe and Latin America (2023) and North America entry (2024), and the company maintains a Japan region management function.

History

After its 2018 founding, the company established an AI research lab in 2019 staffed with data scientists and insurance industry specialists, and raised a second seed round of $2.5m, which funded hiring of a head of engineering and data scientists and development of an automated policy-checking tool. First AI document-understanding models were proven in Japanese customer pilots in 2021, processing 3 million documents at a stated 94% accuracy using computer vision and synthetic data; the company also raised Series A funding, added Tier 1 insurer customers and tripled headcount that year. In February 2022 former Tractable VP of engineering Roi Amir was appointed CEO, with co-founder Niels Thone moving to chief growth officer; full-scale customer deployments began and policy assessment models using natural language interpretation and understanding were added. In 2023 the company expanded into the UK, Europe and Latin America with enterprise insurance customers, integrated large language models, and raised £5.4m led by Amadeus Capital Partners and Praetura Ventures. North America market entry followed in 2024 along with end-to-end AI decisioning models, and 2025 brought further global deployments for insurers, service providers and MGAs plus Live Agent flows. In June 2026 the company launched a Guidewire ClaimCenter integration on the Guidewire Marketplace.
