Always interesting to check out the fintech companies in YC

- Fernstone ➡️ full-stack AI insurance brokerage for high-risk businesses (e.g., construction)
- Cranston ➡️ full-stack AI accounting firm
- Sava ➡️ full-stack AI-native trust company
- Mod AI ➡️ agentic workforce for accounts payable
- Casey ➡️ automates workflows for commercial insurance brokers
- Zalos ➡️ agents for financial operations
- Amera ➡️ automates workflows for health insurance payers
- Alt-X ➡️ AI-powered due diligence for private investors
- Zarna ➡️ AI associates for private capital
- Selfin ➡️ AI-powered consumer banking
- Zavo ➡️ AI POS for restaurants
- Goldbridge ➡️ Ramp for real estate
- Freeport Markets ➡️ DeFi brokerage to build diversified crypto portfolios
- Dome ➡️ unified API for prediction markets

Some observations:

- Many cos positioning as full-stack + AI-native. Not building point solutions but rather end-to end service replacement

- Good amount of insurtech and financial ops companies

- Almost every co describing themselves as AI [X], framing is consistent (and not surprising, lol)
