Fernstone is building a new kind of insurance company: we combine AI with expert humans to obtain insurance faster, and at better terms. Insurance is a $1T category that still runs on pen and paper. We believe AI will fundamentally reshape how insurance is bought, underwritten, and serviced.
We’ve raised $2.8M from YCombinator and other notable investors, and have grown from 0 to 200+ customers since launching at the start of the year.
Fernstone was founded by James (BCG, Traba, UChicago), and Bryant (Google, SentiLink, Vanderbilt). We work in-person in our NYC office.

We are building our founding team and looking for exceptional people to join us.
As Founding Operations Lead, your scope will span Growth, Operations, and Product:
Growth: own, launch, and grow an industry vertical core to our business
Operations: partner with insurance carriers to underwrite coverages and transact on policies
Product: transmit operations work into scalable, agent-led workflows
We’ll be most excited if you:

Have built something before and are excited about ownership, ambiguity, and fast execution
Have accomplished impressive things in your life, whether professionally, academically, competitively, or otherwise
We provide competitive compensation and substantial equity. This is a founding role, and that is reflected in scope, compensation, and upside.
