About Strada

Strada builds AI agents that run insurance operations. Insurance powers the global economy, helping businesses stay open and families recover from disasters. Yet much of the work behind it still relies on manual processes and legacy systems.

Our AI agents complete that work end to end: handling claims, policy changes, billing, and servicing across insurance systems. Backed by Y Combinator and leading investors, Strada already automates more than 5M customer interactions for insurers, TPAs, and brokers representing $20B+ in annual premiums. Our ambition is to make entire insurance operations run on AI.

We’re a small team with a substantial head start and much more to build. Joining now means owning core parts of the platform and helping define how an enormous industry operates.
