Federato, an AI platform for insurance, has raised $100 million in a Series D round led by Goldman Sachs. The funding round stands out as unusually large for insurtech, which has seen much smaller rounds recently, and marks a rare pure-play software raise in the sector. Founded by CEO Will Ross, Federato addresses insurers' need to manage portfolio-level risk whilst handling individual underwriting details. The platform consumes underwriting guidelines and converts them into AI-driven constraints, helping underwriters focus on nuanced decision-making whilst AI handles initial drafting tasks. The company competes against legacy core systems averaging 36 years old, positioning itself as a transformative alternative. Federato has demonstrated tangible returns, including removing eight or more licences from clients' technology stacks, increasing quote volume two to three times, and shortening quote processing time by 89%.
