  • Parametrix Insurance

    Led · Series B · Dec 2025

    Parametrix Insurance is a digital infrastructure insurer specializing in coverage for cloud and data-center downtime and cyber incidents. Its platform continuously monitors performance of more than 7,000 cloud-based technology providers and about 750 data centers, generating over one billion data points each month to quantify risk and automate claims. Policies offer pre-agreed, rapid payouts when defined outages occur, eliminating the need for traditional loss adjustment. The company recently expanded beyond cloud downtime to cover any computer-system failure and has launched a cyber insurance product that embeds digital business-interruption protection within standard cyber policies. Parametrix focuses on large enterprises, including Fortune 500 clients, and distributes its products through insurance brokers rather than direct sales. Management reports revenue in the “tens of millions of dollars” and says the business has tripled annually while operating with a lean 30-person team split between Israel and the United States.

  • CyVers

    Participated · Seed · Dec 2022

    Cyvers develops an AI-backed, real-time security platform that monitors transactions across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon and Avalanche to detect and stop smart-contract vulnerabilities and on-chain attacks before they finalize. Its product suite includes AddressShield for address monitoring, VigiLens for cross-chain threat intelligence, a Runtime Sensor to detect flash loans and frontrunning, MalConAPI for smart-contract malware scanning, and a 24/7 security operations center. The company reports over 99% detection accuracy and says it identified potential losses of $30 billion since 2023 and prevented roughly $800 million in 2025 alone. Cyvers partners with insurance and audit firms such as Relm Insurance and Sub7 and cites use by exchanges and DeFi protocols. With the new $20 million financing, Cyvers plans to expand its infrastructure to handle more complex threat scenarios and scale its real-time AI defenses.

  • Planck

    Participated · Equity · Sep 2022

    Planck provides an AI/ and machine-learning-driven platform that delivers real-time risk insights to commercial insurers to support underwriting decisions and automation. The platform is designed to streamline underwriting workflows, reduce manual errors, improve efficiency, and help carriers grow premiums while reducing loss ratios. Planck works with insurance carriers to automate underwriting processes and deliver faster, better-informed decisions. The company is pursuing geographic expansion into the Australian and New Zealand commercial insurance market through a partnership with IAG Firemark Ventures. Planck expects collaboration with regional leaders to enable embedding its technology within carrier brands and to broaden adoption across the insurance industry. The articles do not disclose Planck’s financial metrics or funding amounts. Planck provides an AI-powered data and analytics platform for commercial insurance that generates up-to-date insights from just a business name and address. Its platform supports carriers, MGAs and insurtechs with submission prefilling, prioritization, underwriting new business and renewals, premium auditing and other underwriting and service workflows. The company has launched products including an underwriting risk search engine and Prospect Intelligence to improve research and help carriers expand into new markets and lower acquisition costs. Planck plans to use the newly raised funds to develop complementary products and to continue geographic expansion. Customers include six of the top ten commercial insurance carriers in the U.S., and leading carriers in Europe and Japan. The company employs almost 100 people globally and is led by CEO Elad Tsur. Planck is an AI-based data platform for commercial insurance underwriting that aggregates online images, text, videos, reviews and public records into a searchable database. Its platform delivers real-time analytics to help insurers determine premiums, process claims, and provide faster quotes by simply entering a business’s name and address. The system covers more than 50 business segments, including restaurants, construction, retail and manufacturing, and serves dozens of U.S. commercial insurance companies, including more than half of the top-30 insurers. For example, Planck can surface details such as equipment, drugs prescribed and types of surgeries to inform underwriting for healthcare businesses. The company said it will use the new funding to build its U.S. team, expand into global markets and add products for new business segments, and has hired Ernie Feirer as head of U.S. business. Financially, Planck has raised $48 million to date, including a $16 million Series B announced in June 2020 and the new $20 million growth round.

The company returns both simple insights (e.g., presence of ER operations) and complex signals (e.g., types of equipment or procedures) to inform underwriting. Planck says its real-time insights help carriers handle increased submission volume and operational changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The startup was launched in 2016 by Elad Tsur, Cohen and David Schapiro and plans global expansion, beginning with Germany next year. Planck Re offers an AI-driven data platform that aggregates small and medium businesses’ digital footprints to produce detailed customer profiles for commercial underwriting. The platform uses open-web data‑mining and AI — including image processing and semantic analysis of unstructured data — to gather information from images, text, videos, social media and public records. Its goal is to streamline the commercial underwriting process by automatically and accurately completing onboarding questionnaires and generating insights that inform risk assessment. Planck Re reports that, based on pilots with several top-tier U.S. carriers, its platform automatically completes over 90% of the fields in onboarding questionnaires. The company was founded in 2016 and lists offices in New York and Tel-Aviv. It plans to initially focus on the U.S. commercial insurance market.
