The problem: an ocean of policies
For Alex, founder of Intryc, insurance used to be a chore. As a Y Combinator (S24) company handling data for large enterprises and for startups such as Deel and Factorial, Intryc could not afford to get compliance wrong.
Legacy providers meant an ocean of policies to read and days or weeks of waiting for a quote. That delay held up deals.
The solution: a direct carrier
Intryc needed a carrier that understood AI and data security. PikaGuard underwrites directly rather than broking, so there is no middle layer to pass questions through. That removed the back-and-forth and produced an instant quote and a startup package built around Intryc’s own risk profile.
“The minute I hit the button, submit, documents come back to me, a Slack channel gets created... It’s beautiful.” says Alex, Founder of Intryc
The Results
1. Zero to Covered in 5 Minutes
Speed was the first difference. “I walked in, I said I need a complete plan. The team walks me through the process in five minutes,” says Alex. With no broker layer in the middle, Intryc moved from application to fully documented cover in a single sitting.
2. Enterprise-Ready Compliance
With six-figure contracts on the line, Intryc’s customers scrutinise information security. The startup package priced the cover and explained it clause by clause. “The team had everything packaged up... They explained every single clause and how those fitted our needs as a business.”
3. Support in a shared Slack channel
On signing, Intryc was put into a dedicated Slack channel with the founding team. As Intryc takes on larger clients, the cover is revised in that channel rather than waiting for renewal.
