About Us

At FurtherAI, we’re building the next generation of AI agents for the insurance industry - a trillion-dollar market ready for transformation. We’ve raised a $5M seed round from top investors (YC, Nexus, South Park Commons, Converge) and have grown 10x in revenue this year alone. Our customers include some of the largest names in insurance (we recently closed a top 5 insurance company in the world), and our team combines deep AI expertise with proven company-building experience.

Why Join Us

• Rocketship Growth: Post-PMF, with revenue growing at an exceptional pace.
• Elite Team: Founding team includes ex-Apple AI Research, 4 ex-YC founders, and 6 ex-founders. Engineers have prior experience at Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.
• Technical Depth: Work alongside a staff research scientist and a team of 7 engineers solving cutting‑edge problems in AI and scalable backend systems.
