Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company

Our mission is to underwrite superintelligence. We eval, certify and insure AI agents.

Capitalism's answer to risks from new technology—be it electricity, cars, nuclear energy—has always been a combination of insurance, standards and audits. We think of it as confidence infrastructure. We're building that for AI, the most transformative technology of them all. Today, we help high-growth AI agent companies like ElevenLabs and Intercom earn the confidence of their customers. Over time, we will do the same for foundation models and data centers.

Our team has experience from Anthropic and McKinsey. We've raised $15m led by Nat Friedman, Emergence & Terrain and folks like Anthropic co-founder, ex-CISOs at Google Cloud & MongoDB.

Role

You’ll be our first designer, working directly with the CEO. 

We’re in the business of trust. The challenge is to both capture the old-school rigor of Underwriters Laboratory, Moody’s or Lloyd's of London – and being on the frontier of agents. We serve both security executives at Fortune 500s and hypergrowth AI companies. 

Over the last 6 months, you would’ve worked on things like:

• Brand identity. What’s the synthesis between old school rigor and the frontier of AI? How do we position our standard AIUC-1 versus the company AIUC?

• Graphic design. How do we build an iconic certificate visual that can live on e.g. Intercom’s website as a recognizable badge of trust?

• Product design. How do we visualize the insights from 10,000 AI agent simulations for a decision-maker? What would an well-designed incident database look like?

• Marketing. How do we enable influencers to talk about us on LinkedIn to spread social proof?

• Tactility. How do we make standards and insurance tactile through physical artifacts like custom formula 1 helmets & certificate statues?

What we’re looking for

Range. You work from business context down to pixels. You can flex between brand work that commands institutional trust and product interfaces that technical teams use daily. You want to understand the big picture: you ask questions about customer acquisition, engineering tradeoffs, why insurance pricing matters to our model. You understand design extends beyond the product—it's how we show up on social, how we equip our sales team, how we make our standard feel real and adopted. You don’t need to know it all, but you can find specialists to help you.

Pace. You ship consistently and welcome fast cycles. When we need to launch a new website in a week because we're announcing a major partnership, you don't panic—you figure out what actually matters and ship it. You're obsessed with outcomes, not outputs: you'd rather ship something imperfect today that we learn from than something flawless next month. You're always exploring new tools and ideas—AI-native design workflows, animation techniques, ways to make complex data intuitive—adopting and discarding rapidly based on what moves the work forward.
