Afori is changing the way of work in one of the world’s largest industries - insurance.
We’re an AI-first company with a vision to enable the insurance industry to embrace an agentic world. We are doing this by crafting AI agents curated to the insurance industry that simplify brokers' everyday work. Our platform is designed to automate backoffice work, starting with the highest frequented tool - the email inbox. Afori AI understands insurance processes, eliminates manual workflows, and uncovers growth opportunities — all while fostering a culture of radical candor, high performance, and relentless problem-solving for our customers, while having a lot of fun🙂.
In just a few months, we have been able to launch a first product and onboarded the first users, raised a 12x oversubscribed €4m seed round from General Catalyst (early investors in Airbnb, Stripe, Mistral) and high profile angels (Mustafa Suleyman - CEO Microsoft AI, Alex Rinke - Founder&Co-CEO Celonis). We are an experienced founder team with deep sector understanding, as well as deep understanding of how to scale a startup, having built Insurtech unicorn wefox (peak valuation of €4.5bn) before. You will get the opportunity to join a fast-scaling startup as one of the first employees and significantly shape the future of the company and the insurance industry.
