About AIUC

Agents are being deployed into hospitals, banks, and governments today. Soon there will be more agent-to-agent interactions than human-to-human interactions. The world needs a gold standard for AI safety, security, and reliability. That standard is AIUC-1, and building it is our mission.

Our mission is to underwrite superintelligence. We evaluate, certify, and insure AI agents, giving high-growth AI companies the credibility to earn their customers' trust. Over time, we will do the same for foundation models and data centers.

Our team comes from Anthropic, McKinsey, METR, Weights & Biases, Perplexity, and the Thiel Fellowship. We have raised $15M led by Nat Friedman, Emergence, and Terrain, with backing from Anthropic co-founder Ben Mann and ex-CISOs at Google Cloud and MongoDB.

Our values

Strong Back

We hold ourselves to the highest standards because underwriting superintelligence demands nothing less. Trust is our business, and we earn it through crisp thinking, radical ownership, and delivering on every promise we make.

Fast Feet

We move fast by shipping early, deciding decisively, and cutting what doesn't deserve full effort. Speed comes from preparation, experimentation, and always knowing who owns what and by when.

Eyes Up

We stay sharp on changes in AI and how they impact our product, our customers, and the world. AI fluency is not optional: we use it, experiment with it, and integrate it into our daily workflows.

Open Heart

We show up honestly, name what's real, and lean into the hard conversations rather than manage around them. Real connection comes from sharing your experience, not controlling the outcome.

Not sure you fit into a neat box like “engineer” or “designer,” but you think you’d crush it here? This wildcard application is for you.
