Overview
Layerup is a claims and underwriting automation platform for insurance carriers, TPAs, MGAs, MGUs, and specialty insurers. The company positions its platform as an "agentic AI operating system" -- a layer of autonomous AI agents embedded within existing enterprise systems that execute end-to-end workflows rather than assisting users through chat or copilot interfaces.
The platform integrates with claims management systems, underwriting workbenches, policy administration systems, document repositories, email, vendor portals, and compliance systems. Layerup agents handle tasks from FNOL intake and fraud detection through settlement support and write-back, operating within client infrastructure with per-tenant isolation and SOC 2 Type 1 certification. The system records every agent action with reasoning traces, input data, and outcomes for audit and compliance review.
Layerup graduated from Y Combinator Summer 2022 and is backed by Y Combinator, Pioneer Fund, Founders Inc (f.inc), and Multicoin Capital. The company targets Fortune 500 carriers down to regional carriers, with customers citing cycle-time compression and queue elimination as measurable outcomes.
