The Opportunity

Problem

Remote teams are excluded from insurtech group insurance plans because they require physical office verification that distributed workforces cannot provide.

Solution

RemoteCertify uses AI-powered photo and video uploads from employee home offices or co-working spaces to generate verifiable digital certificates. These certs prove workforce legitimacy to insurtechs, bypassing physical verification requirements. Companies get instant compliance docs to submit for group health plans.

Target Audience

Remote-first companies and startups with 10-100 distributed employees seeking affordable group health insurance via insurtech platforms

Differentiator

AI-driven automated verification with blockchain timestamps for tamper-proof certs, accepted by major insurtechs.
