Automates insurance claims and stops incorrect payouts

YC S25

About the Company

Solva is building the AI operating system to reinvent insurance, starting with claims. We are backed by one of the world's most prestigious early-stage investors and executives from OpenAI and leading insurers. Our investors have previously backed companies like OpenAI, Google, Stripe, Anthropic, Databricks and Github. Solva is a Y Combinator S25 company and has emerged as one of the fastest growing and best-capitalized startups of the batch.

Our team was previously part of building Europe’s fastest growing InsurTech and founded a neobank processing €1B/yr+. Now we are taking on one of the world’s largest industries and rebuilding it from the ground up with AI.

Tech Stack

At Solva we’re building AI agents that power the core claims operations of billion-dollar insurers. That means reliability, scale and trust are non-negotiable.

Our stack is pragmatic and modern. The backend is built with Go for high-performance services. All infrastructure is managed via Terraform CDK using Typescript and we're fully cloud-native. Our workloads are deployed on GCP via GitHub Actions. We use Postgres and GCS for persistent storage. The guiding principles for how we design our systems are simplicity, repeatability and reliability. We iterate quickly and optimise diligently. A solid backend skillset is important, experience with UI is a plus. Our frontends are built with React + Vite and they're written in TypeScript.

Technologies aside, what matters most is that we're building resilient systems that can handle millions of claims, seamlessly interact with customer systems, and deliver verifiable AI decisions that insurers can rely on. If you have a solid engineering background, thrive in high-responsibility environments and love transforming advanced real-world problems into clean and performant code, you’ll feel at home here.
