Florin on the record
What they shipped
- From its YC profile: Florin is a full-stack insurance carrier where a model does the underwriting. When a submission comes in, Florin reads the ACORD forms, then investigates the risk on its own: satellite imagery, permits, public records, even the insured's Instagram, and catches exposures that never make it onto the application. It then simulates tens of thousands of ways the policy year could go, prices the risk, and returns a bindable quote in under a minute instead of weeks. (source)
- Its own site describes it as: "Commercial insurance, bound in minutes. Liability, products, and property for robotics, space, advanced energy, and defense." (source)
Who is behind it
- Shaurya Aggarwal, Founder/CEO: Built TPUs in the next-gen TPU team at Google. Before that, worked on greenfield at-rest and in-transit encryption products deployed across 100,000+ hosts. BS in Computer Science from Purdue. (source)
- Amol Pant, Founder/CTO: Built perception stack at Orchard Robotics, worked on Tesla's exaflop computer for Autopilot, built prototypes for autonomous rovers for NASA Artemis, worked flight simulators for Boeing. Reach out if you love playing tennis (source)
