The Opportunity

Problem

Solo insurtech founders cannot develop or manage claims processing technology independently, while outsourcing costs are prohibitively expensive for indie-scale operations.

Solution

ClaimFlow provides pre-built workflow templates for claims routing, approvals, and status updates, configurable without code. Solo founders assign approvers, set rules, and track progress in a simple dashboard. Say goodbye to spreadsheets and manual emails.
