Early Anthropic hire raises $15M to insure AI agents and help startups deploy safely


Former Anthropic executive raises $15M to launch AI insurance startup, helping enterprises safely deploy artificial intelligence agents through standards and liability coverage.

A new startup founded by a former Anthropic executive has raised $15 million to solve one of the most pressing challenges facing enterprises today: how to deploy artificial intelligence systems without risking catastrophic failures that could damage their businesses. The seed funding round was led by Nat Friedman, former GitHub CEO, through his firm NFDG, with participation from Emergence Capital, Terrain, and several notable angel investors including Ben Mann, co-founder of Anthropic, and former chief information security officers at Google Cloud and MongoDB. Co-founder Brandon Wang is a Thiel Fellow who previously built consumer underwriting businesses, while Rajiv Dattani is a former McKinsey partner who led global insurance work and served as COO of METR, a nonprofit that evaluates leading AI models.
