Samos Insurance is a Kitchener, Ontario, Canada-based insurtech company — backed by Y Combinator (W22) with $3.8 million in seed funding in July 2022 from Y Combinator, SiriusPoint, Axis Reinsurance, Berkley Life & Health Insurance, and others — providing patients scheduled for surgical procedures with on-demand accidental death insurance specifically covering surgical complications, using proprietary machine learning models to automatically underwrite each patient's surgical risk in real time and automate claims adjudication. Founded in 2021 by Leon Punambolam and creating the world's first Surgical Risk Protection product backed by Berkley Insurance, Samos serves patients, healthcare providers, and families across Canada with digital coverage for procedures including cesarean sections, joint replacements, and heart surgeries.
AI quality assurance with insurance-backed warranties from Swiss Re and Greenlight Re; EU AI Act compliance assessments backed by YC and reinsurance partners for high-risk AI deployments.
Armilla AI is a third-party AI quality assurance and warranty company that evaluates AI models for organizations deploying AI in regulated or high-stakes contexts — assessing models against EU AI Act and NIST AI Risk Management Framework requirements for risks including bias, hallucination, robustness failures, and adversarial vulnerabilities, then providing performance guarantees backed by insurance coverage from reinsurers Swiss Re, Greenlight Re, and Chaucer. Founded in Toronto, Canada, Armilla raised $6.81 million total including a C$4.5 million seed round in February 2024 from Mistral Venture Partners, MS&AD Ventures, Y Combinator, and its reinsurance partners.\n\nArmilla's model is unique in the AI governance market — rather than just providing compliance reports, Armilla backs its assessments with insurance warranty products. An enterprise deploying a third-party AI model can purchase an Armilla warranty that pays out if the model performs differently than assessed (fails on bias, accuracy, or robustness metrics), transferring AI performance risk to insurance markets that can price and distribute it. This insurance mechanism creates financial accountability for AI quality claims that audit reports alone don't provide.\n\nIn 2025, Armilla competes in the AI governance, risk, and compliance market with Credo AI, Arthur AI, and AI audit firms for enterprise AI risk assessment and compliance tools. The EU AI Act, fully applicable by August 2025 for high-risk AI systems, is driving enterprise compliance urgency — companies deploying AI in hiring, credit scoring, healthcare, and other regulated contexts need third-party conformity assessments. Armilla's insurance-backed warranty differentiates its offering from pure advisory competitors. The reinsurer backing (Swiss Re, Greenlight Re, Chaucer) provides both capital credibility and distribution through insurance broker channels. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing EU AI Act compliance assessments and expanding the warranty product coverage to more AI deployment use cases.
