Hesper AI on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Hesper AI builds AI agents that investigate P&C insurance claims end to end. Hesper’s agents read the claim file, detect tampered documents, verify facts, check coverage, flag inconsistencies, and produce an audit-ready case file in minutes, so insurers can check every claim. We work with Claims and SIU orgs at Carriers, MGAs and TPAs, (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Hesper is the AI claims resolution platform. AI agents run the full claims lifecycle - FNOL intake, triage, coverage, investigation-grade fraud workups, settlement, and subrogation recovery. Hours, not weeks." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Pankaj Dhariwal, Founder/CEO: Founder at Hesper AI. Previously Engineering Manager at Nanonets, where he built Flow (Accounts Payable product) from scratch to $200K ARR and scaled the engineering team from 7 to 25. Earlier, first engineer on the Export-Import team at Shipsy, building the global container tracking and ETA prediction system from the ground up. Dual degree in Electronics & Economics from BITS Pilani. (source)
