About Sprout.ai

Sprout.ai was established in London, UK in 2018 with a mission to help people in their time of need when making an insurance claim. The average insurance customer was having to wait over 25 days to receive an outcome on a claim, often in times of vulnerability. Sprout.ai\'s patented claims automation platform solves these challenges, and has already delivered instant claims settlement on millions of insurance claims around the world. Our proprietary AI products can automate every step of the claims journey: extracting and enhancing relevant claims data, cross-checking this with policies and providing recommendations to conclude a claim in near real-time. Our tools are allowing claims handlers to spend more time with customers, where human touch and empathy can make the most difference to their customers.

Leading VCs saw our company vision to ‘make every claim better' and have supported our growth journey. This includes our $11M Series A led by Octopus Ventures in 2021 and in total we have raised over $20M.
