Actuarial intelligence for corporate risk managers

Huscarl solves the inefficiencies of the $1T USD corporate insurance market through technology. We’re backed by Y Combinator and operate in the US and Europe. Most companies are overinsured in some areas and underinsured in others, leading to bad protection and use of their money. Our approach helps large companies ($50M+ turnover) save -30% premiums for improved coverage and manage their own risks like an insurance company would. As an AI-native firm, we’re assembling a small team of elite individuals empowered with extreme AI leverage.

Hey guys, we’re Paulien and Alex, and we’re building Huscarl to fix corporate insurance.

Problem

All of the companies we worked with were :

  • Overinsured in some areas, because brokers and insurers want to sell them more insurance than they need
  • Underinsured in others, because they don’t fully understand the risks their business is facing

Risk managers face huge internal pressure because insurance costs 2% of a company’s revenue every year and it feels like it never pays when you need it.

What we’re building

We’re building an AI-native actuarial advisory that:

  • Tells you if you’re paying the right $ for your coverage
  • Tells you what to keep, change or kill in your insurance program

By creating insurance programs that fit perfectly a company’s risk profile, we’re able to generate ~30% premium savings for similar or better coverage, and get the risk manager promoted :)

The team

Before joining YC, Alex (on the left) and Paulien (on the right) created together the world’s first cyber parametric insurance for corporations.

Long-term vision

Our end game is to empower corporations manage their own risks like an insurance company does. The most sophisticated buyers already self-insure >90% of their risks through in-house insurance subsidiaries called “Captives”. Largest captives are larger than regional mutual insurers and yet remain underserved by insurance professionals.

The ask

We work with all mid-sized and large companies above $50M with no cap (our biggest lead is a FAANG). Intros to CFOs, Chief Risk Officers or Risk managers would be very appreciated!
