Braven, an insurance infrastructure startup, closed a $4.6 million seed round to scale its platform that lets insurers, brokers, MGAs, and reinsurers build automated workflows with AI agents. The funding was led by Collide Capital, with participation from Fiat Ventures, MGV, Carao Ventures, Angeles VC, Broom Ventures, and angel investors with deep reinsurance experience. More than $800 million in gross written premiums have already moved through the system across seven countries on three continents.
The Colombia-based company will use the capital to accelerate product development, open a London office, and expand its footprint in Latin America and the United States.
AI agents with human oversight
Braven's platform provides infrastructure for insurance firms to deploy AI agents that handle underwriting, claims, and other workflows. Critical decisions remain with human underwriters and adjusters, preserving the judgment that complex risks demand. The company says the system is designed to give clients control over where automation stops and human review begins.
Investor lineup
The round drew a mix of venture capital and industry insiders. Collide Capital led the investment, joined by Fiat Ventures, MGV, Carao Ventures, Angeles VC, and Broom Ventures. Angel investors with executive backgrounds in global reinsurance also contributed, though the company did not name them individually.
Why this matters for insurance professionals
The volume of premiums flowing through Braven's platform signals that carriers and intermediaries are moving beyond AI pilots and into production. For underwriters, claims managers, and brokers, familiarity with AI for insurance workflows is becoming a practical requirement, not a future scenario. The London office expansion also points to growing demand in specialty and reinsurance markets that often set the pace for global underwriting standards.
