Founding Talent

A Company That MattersInsurance exists to support people at their most vulnerable – after loss, illness, or crisis. Yet too often, the systems behind it fail when they’re needed most. ClaimSorted is fixing that.ClaimSorted is rebuilding how insurance claims get handled. We run the entire claims operation for insurers – a model called Third-Party Administration (TPA), in a ~$200B industry that has barely changed in decades. We pair a world-class in-house claims team with an AI-native platform to deliver faster resolutions, better outcomes, and a fundamentally more humane experience for policyholders.Backed by Y Combinator, Atomico, and Eurazeo, we’ve raised $15M+ and already manage claims for over $200M in insurance premium across 50+ partners, including more than five publicly traded companies. The traction is real. The mission is urgent. And we’re just getting started.The RolePeople are the only thing that will determine whether ClaimSorted wins.
