Curacel
Curacel is an AI-powered insurance infrastructure company building the rails for insurance in emerging markets. Its cloud APIs let insurers automate claims processing and catch fraud, waste and abuse, while its Grow product lets banks, fintechs and e-commerce platforms embed insurance into their own apps. A Y Combinator Winter 2022 company founded in Nigeria, Curacel works with insurers such as AXA Mansard, Old Mutual and Jubilee across roughly ten African markets.
Tolga Tezel
Tolga Tezel is the founder and CEO of Canopy Connect, an insurance data infrastructure company that lets consumers securely share their insurance information with agents and businesses in seconds. A University of Waterloo electrical engineering graduate and former early engineer at Dropbox and Nova Credit, he prototyped Canopy Connect over a weekend after a dinner conversation with a friend's mother who ran an insurance agency. Since founding the company in February 2020, he has grown it to serve thousands of agencies and raised a $6.5M Series A, building what he describes as trusted, consumer-permissioned infrastructure for property and casualty insurance data.
Authentic
Authentic is a New York insurtech building the infrastructure that lets software companies, franchisors, and associations launch their own insurance programs - so-called captives - for the small businesses they already serve. Its 'Captive in a Box' platform handles the parts that normally take years and a team of specialists: underwriting, rate filings, actuarial work, reinsurance, capitalization, regulatory compliance, and claims. Partners such as Mindbody, Restaurant365, PushPress, and theCut can embed tailored coverage for gyms, salons, restaurants, and other Main Street businesses through a single integration, while member businesses can share in the savings when claims run low.
