The story
Trellis is an insurtech founded by third-time fintech entrepreneur Daniel Demetri, focused on embedding personal P&C (auto, home) insurance into third-party fintechs, financial institutions, and other verticals. The company operates two products: Savvy (a white-labeled embedded insurance marketplace with in-house licensed agents) and Trellis Connect (a consumer-permissioned data API that pulls policy details from existing insurers to pre-fill quotes — essentially 'Plaid for insurance'). Backed by QED, General Catalyst, Nyca, and Amex Ventures.
