TL;DR: Strala is rebuilding the foundation of the world’s largest industry - insurance.
In less than a year, we reached multi seven-figure ARR. We raised two rounds from Tier 1 funds including Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, led by the partner who was early in OpenAI, Cognition and Scale AI. Our team comes from institutions like Harvard, Berkeley & Oxford and firms like Optiver, AMD & Palantir (+ICPC, NeurIPS backgrounds).

•
Design, build, and evolve AI agents that deliver optimal claims outcomes, including prompt engineering, model integration, and blitz prototyping using AI-assisted coding tools.
•
Work with applied AI on a daily basis. You scope and develop new features that allow our customers to scale while consistently improving claims results.
