Briza
Briza is a Toronto-based insurtech that started as a unified, API-first platform for small-business commercial insurance - letting agencies, brokers and software platforms quote, bind and pay for policies like BOP, GL, WC and cyber through a single integration. Founded in 2016, the company has since narrowed its focus to carrier API reliability, applying manufacturing-style engineering discipline to reduce failed submissions and slow integrations that cost carriers premium.
Shannon Goggin
Shannon Goggin is the co-founder and CEO of Noyo, an API-first company building modern data infrastructure for the employee benefits industry. After watching benefits data break down behind the scenes at Zenefits, she and co-founder Dennis Lee launched Noyo in 2017 to fix the plumbing that connects insurance carriers, benefits platforms, and the people who depend on accurate coverage. She has raised more than $57 million for the company, was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2020, and calls her approach 'collaborative disruption' - rebuilding an entrenched industry by understanding it rather than ignoring it.
InfrasAI
InfrasAI (formerly iLife Technologies) is a Sunnyvale-based AI infrastructure company that builds the plumbing behind modern insurance distribution. Their headless API platform lets insurance carriers connect to any distributor channel - agents, brokers, IMOs - without rebuilding integrations from scratch each time. The core bet: use agentic AI to auto-generate workflows from natural language, collapsing integration timelines from 24 weeks to about 2. Customers include Transamerica and Guardian Insurance. Backed by Foundation Capital, Brewer Lane Ventures, SCOR, and others, InfrasAI has raised $28M total.
Nelson Lee
Nelson Lee is the Founder and CEO of InfrasAI (formerly iLife Technologies), an AI-powered workflow infrastructure company headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. Drawing on early stints at Tencent and J.P. Morgan and participation in Stanford's Idea-to-Market program, Lee spent years mapping the fragmentation inside insurance distribution before building infrastructure to fix it. InfrasAI's headless connectivity platform decouples business logic from user interfaces, enabling insurance carriers to deploy workflows across any distributor channel without rebuilding backend systems - reducing maintenance costs by up to 60% and accelerating deployment speed by up to 70%. Backed by $21M in funding led by Foundation Capital and top insurtech investors, the company serves enterprise clients including Transamerica and Guardian across life, annuities, group benefits, disability, and wealth management.
