Founding Operations Lead

Fernstone is building a new kind of insurance company: we combine AI with expert humans to obtain insurance faster, and at better terms. Insurance is a $1T category that still runs on pen and paper. We believe AI will fundamentally reshape how insurance is bought, underwritten, and serviced. We’ve raised $2.8M from YCombinator and other notable investors, and have grown from 0 to 200+ customers since launching at the start of the year.

Fernstone was founded by James http://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/737672/linkedin_redirect?key=f4f026c4cd7e51d1014e2de378f0e60f559cb6ac (BCG, Traba, UChicago), and Bryant https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryant-le-3884a7134/ (Google, SentiLink, Vanderbilt).
