Elysian

AI-native claims management for complex commercial insurance cases

Claims Technology Startup Seed

Overview

Elysian is a claims technology platform and third-party administrator (TPA) for commercial insurance carriers handling complex, high-severity claims. The company was founded in January 2025 by Grace Hanson, a former chief claims officer at Allied World, Homesite, Hiscox, and Hippo Insurance, along with co-founder Dinyar Mistry. Elysian targets carriers, reinsurers, and self-insured entities that need faster, more consistent outcomes on difficult claims.

The platform combines an AI orchestration engine with licensed adjusters to handle claims from first notice of loss through closure. Rather than replacing adjusters with automation, the system routes decisions to AI or human reviewers based on complexity and context. Nearly 70% of Elysian staff are technologists, reflecting a software-first approach within a traditionally services-heavy industry. The platform has analyzed over 1 million claims and manages more than USD 50 billion in reserves.

Since launching in January 2025, Elysian has built 260+ business relationships and raised a USD 6M seed round in September 2025 led by Portage, with participation from American Family Ventures and TenOneTen Ventures. The company won the State Farm Startup Pitch Competition at InsureTech Connect 2025 and was named to the CB Insights Top 50 Most Innovative Insurtech Startups list for 2025.
