Superpowering Producers with AI Agents
“Novella is a wholesale insurance brokerage built to superpower our producers. Every producer we hire gets a team of AI agents to help them work. Instead of passing tasks to a human assistant, our AI agents handle them: placement, binding, subjectivities, inspections, policy review, and so much more.”

Problem Agitation
The Producer Time Sink
“Before Novella, most of my days were consumed with the parts outside of selling. Parsing submissions, chasing subjectivities. The actual relationship-building part took up maybe 40% of my time.”

Automating Backend Burden
“Traditionally, there's a ton of service and back-end work that star producers get bogged down with trying to close these deals. We automate as much of that work as possible so that our producers can be front and center, relationship-based with our trading partners.”

External Broker Validation
“I did a demo and I was frankly shocked. Part of me almost doubted that it was actually real just because it was so different. But two weeks later we gave it a whirl, and everything that was promised was delivered.”

Outcomes Over Technology
“Brokers don't care about technology. They care about outcomes: good coverage for a good price. We make specialty insurance work better for everyone. Brokers get faster quotes, underwriters get cleaner submissions, and customers get better coverage for less money. Our Series A is just the beginning.”
