Sixfold has been recognized for delivering trusted, contextual AI to insurers at scale
NEW YORK, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CB Insights today named Sixfold to its ninth annual AI 100, showcasing the 100 most promising private artificial intelligence companies in the world.
"The AI 100 winners are future movers and shakers, taking big swings that will shape the future of AI," said Manlio Carrelli, CEO at CB Insights. "This year's cohort is pushing AI applications from emerging to emerged, working on everything from AI agents for complex processes to security and robotics. They've also zeroed in on new and promising technologies that might not be on the radar of many enterprises — multi-agent systems, novel computing and data curation approaches, and physical AI."
"Underwriting is ultimately about making the right call — and that's where we focus," said Alex Schmelkin, founder and CEO of Sixfold. "Our AI delivers contextual insights directly within the tools underwriters already use, helping them make faster decisions with greater confidence. As AI becomes central to the underwriting process, we're proud to be building technology that underwriters trust, and are excited to use. It's an honor to be recognized among the companies advancing AI in its most meaningful applications."
The list recognizes early—and mid-stage startups that are leading the way in applying AI across industries and architectures. Our research team picked winning companies based on CB Insights datasets, including deal activity, industry partnerships, team strength, investor strength, employee headcount, and proprietary Commercial Maturity and Mosaic scores. We also dug into Analyst Briefings submitted directly to us by startups.
