We are hiring 1 - 2 new grads (0 to 1 years of experience) to join us in NYC as a Growth & Operations Analyst starting summer 2026.
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.
We are solving one of the most challenging and valuable problems in the economy: insurance for businesses with complex risk, a $100B+ market in the US alone.
We are a team of 3 working in-person in NYC: this is not a traditional role, you will work directly with the founders and a cracked founding team. We work 5-6 days a week in-person.
James Chen (Co-Founder, CEO): Previously created and led the Enterprise function at Traba. Ex-BCG and UChicago. Former debate champion ranked #1 in the US out of 10,000.
Bryant Le (Co-Founder, CTO): Previously engineering at Google and SentiLink (Series B, a16z). Vanderbilt Applied Math/CS.
David Mason (Head of Growth): Previously consulting at BCG (PE due diligences), former founder, Yale graduate.
