About Axle.insure
Axle is the AI-native clearinghouse for insurance, building the universal API infrastructure that bridges the multi-trillion dollar insurance industry with virtually every other sector. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in a Flatiron/NoMad office in NYC (with a West Midtown Atlanta presence), Axle's mission is to completely transform the communication layer for insurance — enabling companies to verify coverage, monitor policies, and make business decisions in seconds rather than hours, while helping consumers unlock their most underutilized financial asset. The platform powers agentic workflows and RESTful API integrations for Fortune 500 clients and household names including Rocket Mortgage, Hertz, Avis, Audi, USAA, and Experian. Axle has seen exceptional traction, with revenue growing 35% quarter-over-quarter to mid-7-figures ARR and best-in-class retention — all with a lean team of ~25 people. The company is backed by a blue-chip investor roster including Y Combinator, Gradient Ventures (Google's AI fund), Base10, and angels from Plaid and Cox Automotive, and recently announced a $17.5M Series A led by Base10. Culturally, Axle is a tight-knit, in-person-first team (4 days a week in office) that values real ownership, creative problem-solving, and moving fast — everyone drives measurable impact, and early team members are building verticals from the ground up.
