About

Huscarl solves the inefficiencies of the $1T USD corporate insurance market through technology. We’re backed by Y Combinator and operate in the US and Europe. Most companies are overinsured in some areas and underinsured in others, leading to bad protection and use of their money. Our approach helps large companies ($50M+ turnover) save -30% premiums for improved coverage and manage their own risks like an insurance company would. As an AI-native firm, we’re assembling a small team of elite individuals empowered with extreme AI leverage.
