We're looking for the 1%. A $7 trillion industry that hasn't seen real disruption in decades. A team with ML out of Columbia, an eng lead who built software for the Ferrari Purosangue, and operators with 20+ years in insurance. Now we're looking for the next group of people.

We're hiring at @generalmagic_ai Demand is outpacing what we can ship, and we're at the point where we need to add talent to scale. Insurance is a $7 trillion industry still running on software from another era. We're solving very complex problems in a space that hasn't seen real disruption in decades. We're building toward a world where insurance works better for everyone. Customers get faster, more personal service, brokers and carriers run more profitably, and the whole thing operates at a scale the industry has never seen before. The team is already stacked. An ML researcher out of Columbia. An engineering lead who built early software for the Ferrari Purosangue. Operators who've been at the forefront of insurance for over twenty years. Now we're looking for the next group of people. We're backed by @speedrun, @radicalvcfund, and top tier angels including @aidangomez, Kevin Wang (@Braze), @iamlarryjames and more. 10k referral bonus for any full-time hire.

General Magic's (@generalmagic_ai) first product was an AI hallucination detection tool. It was working. There was traction, excitement, momentum. Founder @anthonyazrak killed it anyway. His reasoning: hallucinations were going to decrease as AI models improved. Why build a business on a problem that's going away? Most founders can't make that call because killing something that's working feels like failure. It isn't. It's the hardest form of focus. What came after: text-message AI agents for insurance brokers. One of the least sexy markets in tech, but one of the most broken. $7.2M raised. The pivot worked because he asked the right question first: "Is this a market that grows or shrinks as AI gets better?" Apply that to whatever you're building right now. The answer might be uncomfortable.
