What it sells
AI-Native Insurance for Frontier Tech
Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
Founders/finance leads at robotics, AI, drone, autonomy, space and defense hardware startups.
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Customer pilot or contract insurance exhibits, government/SBIR contract requirements, first deployment of machines at customer sites, priced rounds (D&O).
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Founder describes the company in plain English; Risklytics drafts the application from that plus public info, places it with insurers that cover autonomy explicitly, and a licensed broker stays on the file until binding, with Slack/email updates.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Commercial insurance brokerage paid by carrier commission out of the premium; no broker fee on top.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Online application (Get Insured) with licensed-broker handling; SEO guides by industry; YC S26.
