About
Lassie was founded in 2019 in Stockholm with the mission of making pet insurance smarter, faster, and more transparent for pet owners across the Nordic region. The company built an AI-native insurance platform that reimagines the claims process — using machine learning to automate underwriting decisions, flag fraud, and process a majority of claims in under six minutes without human review. This technical approach enabled Lassie to compete with legacy insurers on both price and customer experience from day one.\n\nLassie's insurance products cover dogs and cats across Sweden, Germany, and other European markets, with plans that include veterinary care, surgery, and liability coverage. Its mobile-first claims flow allows pet owners to submit claims via photo and structured data, with AI processing replacing the manual review queues that create days-long delays at traditional insurers. The company has also invested in preventive care features — including wellness tracking and vet telehealth — to differentiate beyond price and reduce claims frequency over time.\n\nLassie surpassed $100M in annual recurring revenue with over 250,000 insured pets, achieving these milestones faster than any prior European pet insurtech. The company raised approximately $100M in total funding, including a $75M Series C in February 2026, to accelerate its European expansion. Lassie's combination of AI claims automation, rapid growth, and strong retention metrics positions it as the leading digital-native pet insurer in Europe and a benchmark for AI-driven underwriting in specialty insurance.

About
Palo Alto Networks, Inc. is a Santa Clara, California-based cybersecurity platform company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: PANW) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — providing network security, cloud security, and AI-driven security operations through three integrated security platforms: Strata (network security — next-generation firewalls, SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access), Prisma Cloud (cloud security posture management, cloud workload protection, CSPM/CWPP), and Cortex (AI-driven security operations — XSIAM extended security intelligence and automation management, XDR endpoint detection and response, XSOAR security orchestration) through approximately 15,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024 (ending July 2024), Palo Alto Networks reported revenues of $8.0 billion (+16% year-over-year), with next-generation security Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR — Prisma Cloud and Cortex subscriptions) growing 42% to $4.2 billion as large enterprise and government customers consolidated security toolsets onto Palo Alto Networks' platform versus maintaining dozens of point solution security vendors. CEO Nikesh Arora (joined 2018 from SoftBank as Chairman and CEO) has executed the "platformization" strategy — convincing large enterprise security buyers to replace 10-15 individual security vendors (email security, endpoint protection, cloud workload protection, network detection) with a consolidated Palo Alto Networks platform contract that provides 80% of point-solution capabilities at 50% of the total cost — using the first-year transition economics to accelerate platform adoption through deferred commitment offers (paying a lower platform price in year 1 in exchange for multi-year platform commitment in years 2-4).
