Overview

ForMotiv is a behavioral data science company that provides real-time predictive analytics for insurance carriers. The platform captures thousands of digital behavioral data points during the application process -- such as typing speed, hesitation, corrections, mouse movements, copy/paste actions, idle time, and 150+ other cues -- to predict applicant intent and identify fraud, misrepresentation, and risk without collecting any personally identifiable information.

Founded in 2018 by Andrew Schwabe in Philadelphia, ForMotiv analyzes what it calls "digital body language" to help carriers distinguish genuine applicants from risky or fraudulent ones during the underwriting flow. The platform's machine learning models are trained on behavioral data from over 1 billion auto insurance applications, enabling real-time scoring with API response times under 20 milliseconds.

In 2025, ForMotiv experienced a significant shift toward agent-facing intelligence, signing more carriers for agent-focused initiatives than direct-to-consumer ones for the first time in company history. Carriers using ForMotiv's solutions have reported underwriting action rates as high as 91% and seven-figure gains by addressing loss ratio challenges through real-time behavioral actions. The company has approximately 38 employees across three continents (North America, Europe, and Asia) and serves Fortune 500 insurance carriers and financial institutions globally.
