Founded in 2025 by CEO Sean Stuart and co-founder Chris Dwyer, the company operates from dual headquarters in Sydney, Australia and Austin, Texas. It is licensed to place business in the US (NPN 22136964) and focuses on industries including construction, trucking and logistics, electrical contracting, retail and e-commerce, restaurants, and healthcare. Each client is assigned a broker, an account manager, and access to a 24/7 claims advocate. The brokerage built its own AI tooling in-house rather than licensing broker software from an outside vendor. The platform automates policy submissions across more than 100 carrier portals, compares policy documents to flag coverage gaps and exclusions, generates certificates of insurance in under two minutes, and assists brokers with real-time guidance during client calls. Rosella raised approximately USD 2.6M (AUD 3.7M) in a pre-seed round in April 2026 led by Peak XV Partners and Intact Private Capital, and holds carrier appointments that include Travelers, Chubb, Geico, Mercury, The Hartford, Nationwide, Progressive, Hiscox, AmTrust, Texas Mutual, Coalition, and Markel. ## Products & services ### Claims Advocacy Dedicated claims advocates, with more than 25 years of combined industry experience, support clients through the claims process. ### Renewal Planning Proactive market strategy work ahead of each policy renewal, aimed at securing favorable program terms and pricing. ### Contract Review Checks insurance policies against clients' underlying business contracts to confirm the coverage in place matches what the contracts require. ### Dedicated Team Support Each client is assigned a broker, an account manager, and 24/7 access to a claims advocate. ### Certificate of Insurance Issuance AI-assisted certificate generation that cuts typical turnaround from about 30 minutes to under 2 minutes. ### Proprietary AI Platform An internally built AI system automates risk submissions across more than 100 carrier portals, performs document intelligence to compare policies and flag coverage differences, and gives brokers real-time guidance during client calls.
