Battery Ventures Leads The $50M Round
The $50 million all-equity funding round was led by Battery Ventures, with participation from Canapi Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, Eclipse, and Commerce Ventures. This brings Liberate’s post-money valuation to $300 million, just three years after its founding. The fresh capital will help the company scale its agentic AI deployments across global insurance carriers and agencies.
Why The Insurance Industry Needs AI More Than Ever
The insurance sector is facing mounting challenges — from rising operational costs to outdated legacy systems and elevated customer expectations. In the non-life segment, global premium growth is expected to slow through 2026 due to heightened competition, weaker rate momentum, and cost pressures, including tariffs, according to Deloitte.
While insurers have experimented with AI for years, most efforts have struggled due to fragmented data and rigid workflows. Now, the tide is turning as companies move toward full-scale AI integration — embedding AI into their core processes instead of treating it as an add-on. That’s exactly where Liberate sees its opportunity.
How Liberate Is Redefining AI For Insurers
Founded in 2022, Liberate builds AI systems tailored for property and casualty insurers, streamlining sales, service, and claims operations. At the customer-facing level, its voice AI assistant, Nicole, manages inbound and outbound calls — helping sell policies, process claims, or handle service requests.
Behind the scenes, Liberate’s reasoning-based AI agents plug into existing insurance systems to pull data, analyze context, and generate accurate responses that Nicole delivers — all without human intervention.
Beyond Chatbots: True End-To-End AI Automation
Unlike typical chatbots or ticketing tools, Liberate’s AI agents can execute complete end-to-end tasks, such as quoting new policies, validating claims, or updating customer records. This level of automation frees human agents to focus on high-value interactions, improving both efficiency and customer satisfaction.
AI At The Core Of Insurance’s Future
As Liberate bags $50M at $300M valuation to bring AI deeper into insurance back offices, it reflects a broader shift — insurers are no longer dabbling in AI; they’re building around it. By fusing automation with reasoning-based intelligence, Liberate is positioning itself as a key player in next-generation insurance technology.
The company’s mission goes beyond replacing repetitive work — it aims to reimagine insurance operations from the ground up. With this funding, Liberate plans to expand its platform, enhance its AI models, and deepen partnerships with global carriers ready to embrace the future of intelligent insurance.
