Pierre-Alexandre Kamienny
Founder of Kinro, Autonomous insurance brokerage for small businesses
Company
Pierre-Alexandre Kamienny is listed as a founder of Kinro. We are building the first autonomous insurance brokerage. We hit $1M in annual revenue building insurance workflows for brokers. Then we realized the bigger opportunity was replacing them. In the US, there are 36 million SMBs, and 77% are underinsured because distribution is broken. Brokers can’t serve low-premium SMBs profitably: a $2K policy takes almost as much work as a $20K one. Kinro changes that. Our AI agents handle the full broker workflow 24/7, from finding prospects to binding policies. In 3 weeks, we got licensed in 24 states and appointed by 10 carriers. Last week, our agents autonomously bound 9 policies. Before Kinro, Pierre was an AI researcher at DeepMind. Corentin was Chief Insurance Officer at an insurtech. Parth built ML systems at Zoox.
