About the Company

Axle is building Plaid for Insurance - an AI-native clearinghouse for insurance. We make it easy for Fortune 500 lenders and companies like Hertz, Avis, and Audi to securely connect to their users' insurance data in seconds.

The multi-trillion dollar insurance industry still relies on phone calls, paper forms, and outdated systems that are slow, error-prone, and easy to fake. That's where Axle comes in. We bridge the gap between insurance and other industries through a universal API for insurance data, powered by agentic workflows, enabling our clients to make business decisions in seconds instead of hours while allowing consumers to unlock their most underutilized financial asset - insurance.

We are backed by leading investors including Y Combinator and Gradient Ventures (Google's AI fund) and angels from companies like Plaid and Cox Automotive.

Our team is in-person 4 days a week in our Flatiron/NoMad office in NYC.
