AI-native actuary enabling self-insurance for corporations

Huscarl is building an autonomous AI actuary to enable self-insurance for corporations. Large companies use insurance subsidiaries ("captives") to self-insure their risks. Some of these captives are larger than regional insurers. We provide them the actuarial and modeling layer to operate and grow. We're building a future where self-insurance is the default, and commercial insurance the exception. This is the best way to solve the inefficiencies of the $1T corporate insurance market.

Hey guys, we’re Paulien and Alex, and we’re building Huscarl to fix corporate insurance.

Problem

All of the companies we worked with were :

  • Overinsured in some areas, because brokers and insurers want to sell them more insurance than they need
  • Underinsured in others, because they don’t fully understand the risks their business is facing

Risk managers face huge internal pressure because insurance costs 2% of a company’s revenue every year and it feels like it never pays when you need it.

What we’re building

We’re building an AI-native actuarial advisory that:

  • Tells you if you’re paying the right $ for your coverage
  • Tells you what to keep, change or kill in your insurance program

By creating insurance programs that fit perfectly a company’s risk profile, we’re able to generate ~30% premium savings for similar or better coverage, and get the risk manager promoted :)

Before joining YC, Alex (on the left) and Paulien (on the right) created together the world’s first cyber parametric insurance for corporations.

Long-term vision

Our end game is to empower corporations manage their own risks like an insurance company does. The most sophisticated buyers already self-insure >90% of their risks through in-house insurance subsidiaries called “Captives”. Largest captives are larger than regional mutual insurers and yet remain underserved by insurance professionals.

The ask

We work with all mid-sized and large companies above $50M with no cap (our biggest lead is a FAANG). Intros to CFOs, Chief Risk Officers or Risk managers would be very appreciated!
