Commercial insurance is a trillion-dollar industry run out of Microsoft Outlook.
Kalepa is upending this.
Our state-of-the-art AI Copilot platform empowers underwriters to make smarter, faster, and more accurate decisions. Our AI is designed to deliver real results - insurers literally see massive improvements to their top and bottom lines as soon as they implement Copilot. That’s why our clients call Copilot “truly an underwriter’s dream” and proclaim that Copilot helps them “almost double the amount of accounts they can look at in the day."
Kalepa's team members bring experience from top technology companies, including Facebook, Google, Amazon, Mastercard, and Uber. Kalepa is backed by leading VCs like IA Ventures and Inspired Capital.
Many organizations have a dusty list of corporate values that no one ever follows. Kalepa is not one of those companies. Our values are designed to unlock the potential of our employees.
Success at Kalepa is bred from five core principles:
In addition to our NY office, we have remote employees speaking 10+ languages across the globe. But we invest in bringing our people together both for regional meetups and global offsites (2021 - Playa Del Carmen | 2022 - Rome | 2023 - Buenos Aires | 2024 - Lisbon).
Kalepa’s culture isn’t for everyone, and that’s ok. But for the people who are a fit, they can’t imagine working elsewhere.
