Kalepa

Founded in 2018, we provide Copilot, an AI-powered underwriting platform for commercial and specialty insurers, including P&C carriers and MGAs. Our platform helps underwriters quickly evaluate risk and make better decisions.

Copilot processes submissions, identifies hidden hazards, and uses both automation and human judgment to bind profitable policies. It pulls information from documents like loss runs and supplementals, web sources, and third-party data.

Our platform helps improve combined ratios by 10%, increases throughput by 32%, and reduces loss ratios by 600 basis points. Insurers can implement Copilot in weeks.

Our mission is to improve the commercial insurance industry. We are guided by several core values.

We maintain a Customer Focus, always prioritizing a better insurance ecosystem for our clients.

When facing challenges, we bring Hustle and Grit, tackling them with tenacity and perseverance.

Transparency is key to us; we believe in direct communication and feedback for continuous improvement.

We foster Meritocracy, recognizing and rewarding consistent excellence and results.

Through Experimentation, we use the scientific method to drive value, iterating on data-driven ideas.

We are a remote-friendly company, headquartered in New York City, with a team of 11 to 50 people. Many of us have prior experience at companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Uber, and Mastercard.

Our work environment values ownership, proactive communication, experimentation, hustle, grit, and a strong technical foundation. Our teams collaborate across disciplines, including full-stack, data, machine learning, and DevOps.

We offer competitive salaries and generous equity options. Our benefits include 100% covered medical, vision, and dental insurance for individuals and families, and a 401(k) plan with employer contributions.

We provide 20 days of paid time off each year. Other perks include a stipend for gym, wellness, or healthy living, and reimbursement for mobile phone bills. For professional development, we offer continuing education credits and mentorship from experienced engineers.

We also organize global team offsites; recent trips include Playa del Carmen (2021), Rome (2022), Buenos Aires (2023), and Lisbon (2024), with Cartagena planned for 2025. Interns receive competitive hourly pay, practical experience, real responsibilities, and may receive a full-time offer.
