Founders & story · from Cover Genius’s own dossier

Founded 2014 as an insurtech to price and handle claims for any line of insurance. Built XCover (distribution platform), XClaim (instant payouts in 90+ currencies), and BrightWrite (real-time pricing/product recommendations) as microservices exposed via APIs. Positioned as the embedded-protection infrastructure for the world's largest digital brands — travel (Ryanair, Turkish Airlines, Priceline), retail, logistics (ShipStation, Sendcloud), mobility (Uber, Ola), ticketing (AXS), and fintech. Now transitioning to an AI-first platform with 2026 Vista credit facility fueling geographic expansion and ML-driven product design.
