Aman Gour, co-founder and CEO of FurtherAI, said, “When we first partnered with the insurance industry, many claimed it was slow to innovate and held back by repetitive tasks. We saw it differently: insurance isn’t inherently sluggish or mundane—it just needed more advanced technology. Now, with large language models, we’re unlocking the industry’s true potential. I’m thrilled that top investors recognize this opportunity, enabling us to drive real change in the industry.”

Sashank Gondala, co-founder and CTO of FurtherAI, said, “We’ve seen a lot of untapped potential because traditional models don’t fully meet the unique needs of specialized insurance. At FurtherAI, we’re committed to building far better and more accurate solutions while upholding the strict privacy and compliance standards that the industry demands.”

Jishnu Bhattacharjee, Managing Director at Nexus Venture Partners, said, “FurtherAI’s autonomous AI Assistants are set to transform commercial insurance industry: their solution’s accuracy and adaptability not only boost efficiency and competitiveness but also address what has been a long-enduring talent shortage in the industry. By automating tedious tasks, existing teams can focus on high-value, strategic work that not only eases the strain on current teams, but also makes the industry more appealing to the next generation of talent. We are thrilled to back Aman, Sashank and the team as they bring advanced AI to change traditional industries for the better.”
