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.
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.
