FurtherAI raised $25M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz i joined as the first hire when we had no product, just conviction. we envisioned AI agents that could truly understand insurance - learning from every interaction and getting smarter within the platforms where real work happens. the journey hasn't been linear. we started automating submission intake - extracting key details from broker emails and PDFs, running eligibility checks 30x faster. policy comparisons with state-of-the-art accuracy. the feedback loop was intense: ship fast, learn faster, iterate relentlessly. customers loved the speed, but speed without simplicity is chaos. so we went back to first principles. every UI decision, every feature — distilled down to its essence. because complexity kills adoption. in a space moving this fast, momentum is the MOAT. while others debate AI's potential, we're shipping irreversible value. we're not just digitizing legacy systems - we're redefining how an entire industry works. this is just the beginning 🚀 cc: Nexus Venture Partners , South Park Commons, Y Combinator Converge VC, Pioneer Fund and others!
