About Axle Axle is building Plaid for Insurance - a universal API for accessing insurance data. We make it easy for companies like Hertz, Avis, and Audi to securely connect to their users' insurance data in seconds.
The multi-trillion dollar insurance industry still relies on phone calls, paper forms, and outdated systems that are slow, error-prone, and easy to fake. That's where Axle comes in. We bridge the gap between insurance and other industries through a universal API for insurance data, enabling our clients to make business decisions in seconds instead of hours while allowing consumers to unlock their most underutilized financial asset - insurance.
We are backed by leading investors including Y Combinator and Gradient Ventures (Google's AI fund) and angels from companies like Plaid and Cox Automotive.
Our team is in-person 4 days a week in our Flatiron/NoMad office in NYC.
