AI-Powered Infrastructure for Insurance & Healthcare

YC W22

About the Company

Our vision is prosperity for everyone. Our mission is to make financial services, starting with risk protection and healthcare, seamless, intelligent, and accessible.

We build AI that helps insurers, TPAs, banks, and providers automate work, reduce fraud, and deliver better experiences at scale.

We are building an AI agent platform that lets financial and health organizations deploy safe, useful agents for real operations. Brands plug in modern claims, compliance, and payment flows and go live quickly across markets.

Curacel is trusted by leading insurers, including AXA, Liberty, Old Mutual, and Jubilee. Teams use Curacel to cut cycle times and process more claims with real time decisioning. We serve 40 insurers across the Middle East & Africa.

By 2035, our infrastructure will serve hundreds of millions of people. As agentic AI matures, we will use our rails with insurers, banks, and providers to deliver next generation financial protection and healthcare access at scale.

We have grown rapidly since launch, serving customers across multiple countries with strong retention and millions in annual revenue. We have raised million dollars from leading investors including Y Combinator, Google, Tencent, etc
