Sefas Innovation
The quiet French engine behind billions of bills, statements, and policy letters - and why a Toronto CCM firm just bought it.
Smart Communications
The London-born software company that turns the dull, high-stakes paperwork of insurers and banks into governed, on-brand conversations - and just changed hands for a reported $1.8 billion.
Near Space Labs
Near Space Labs is a Brooklyn-based earth-imaging company that flies small autonomous robots called Swift into the stratosphere on helium balloons to capture 7-centimeter-resolution imagery of the ground below. Founded in 2017, it delivers frequent, analysis-ready aerial data to property and casualty insurers, governments, utilities and environmental groups at a fraction of the cost of traditional planes or satellites, positioning balloon-borne imaging as a scalable, low-emission alternative for monitoring cities, infrastructure and disasters.
SightCall
SightCall is a San Francisco- and Paris-based enterprise software company that turns a customer's or technician's smartphone camera into a live support channel. Its cloud platform blends real-time WebRTC video, augmented-reality annotations, and multimodal generative AI so that a remote expert - or increasingly an AI agent - can see what someone in the field sees, guide them through a fix, and automatically document the session. Used by brands like Ford, Allianz, GE HealthCare, Deutsche Telekom and Lavazza, SightCall targets field service, insurance claims, customer service and healthcare, aiming to resolve problems on the first contact and cut unnecessary truck rolls.
Hover
Hover is a San Francisco-based AI and computer vision company that turns smartphone photos into accurate, interactive 3D models of properties — complete with measurements, material takeoffs, and design visualization. Serving 300,000+ construction and insurance professionals, and trusted by 9 of the top 10 U.S. insurance carriers, Hover has digitally reconstructed over 22 billion square feet of property. Its platform compresses what used to be hours of manual estimation into minutes, enabling faster insurance claims, more accurate contractor bids, and immersive homeowner design experiences.
