StitchStudio raises $8M for AI agents that do insurers’ paperwork

StitchStudio has raised $8M led by Voyager Capital to expand its AI agents for insurance carriers and brokers. The agents handle tasks such as quote comparison and billing checks inside existing systems, and every action can be audited.

StitchStudio, an Oregon startup that builds AI agents for insurers, has raised $8M in a round led by Voyager Capital, the company announced on Wednesday. Lookout Ventures and Grit Capital Partners joined, along with earlier backers ManchesterStory and BrokerTech Fund. The company raised a $3M seed round in 2025.

The money will go into new products for employee benefits, life insurance and annuities, and commercial property cover. StitchStudio will also hire more customer support staff and build self-service tools.

Insurers often run old and new systems side by side, so staff end up typing the same data into several screens. StitchStudio’s agents connect to those systems rather than replacing them, and each action they take can be traced and audited.

Customers include M3 Insurance, Heffernan Insurance Brokers and Fidelity Life. They use the agents for tasks such as comparing quotes, onboarding sales agents and checking bills.

“Our customers got their first workflows live and came back to expand across the enterprise. This round helps us get them there faster,” said CEO Karan Mishra.

StitchStudio says one customer cut proposal turnaround from 90 minutes to 15. At Heffernan, staff still choose insurers and advise clients, while the software gathers and compares the data.

Investors are backing a growing number of insurance AI startups. London’s Ancep raised $8.5M for broker agents this week, while Corridor launched with $25M for benefits. Big insurers are buying in too, with Guardian handing 1 million dental calls a year to AI agents.
