The Opportunity

Problem

Small insurtech teams cannot scale custom underwriting models demanded by enterprise insurance clients without VC funding.

Solution

ScaleRiskAPI ingests your existing underwriting model code (Python/JS), auto-optimizes and deploys it on global serverless infra for enterprise traffic without ops team. Pay only for inferences at $0.001 each after $20 base. Handles spikes, monitoring, and SLAs out-of-box for small insurtechs chasing big clients.

Target Audience

Small insurtech teams without VC funding targeting enterprise insurance clients

Differentiator

Plug-and-play scaler for any underwriting code with insurance-optimized optimizations like batching for policy portfolios.
