Launch YC: Acolite - AI Teammates for Insurance Agencies

"Scale your agency without adding headcount"

TL;DR: Acolite helps insurance agencies spend more time with clients by building AI teammates for operational work. Simply forward an email to Acolite (www.acolite.ai), and they handle COI issuance, carrier submissions, and SOV mapping so your account managers can focus on clients, not busywork.

Founded by Daniel Siryakov & Barak Ben Noon

Daniel is a former ML engineer who built $4B quant strategies before turning AI PM at a Blackstone-backed LegalTech unicorn. His co-founder Barak Ben Noon led AI feature development for 1B+ users on Google Docs and previously worked at BlackRock and Goldman Sachs.

The problem

Agencies spend more time running operations than advising clients.

Teams are buried under manual work like certificate requests, updating the AMS, and carrier submissions all the while client expectations rise and the talent pipeline collapses.

  • 73% of account managers nearing retirement are 60+
  • Hiring takes 4–5 months
  • Agencies spend $65B annually on BPOs, yet only get ~15% cost savings

It’s time to add AI teammates that can actually work inside your operations, not just automate around them.

What Acolite does today

Agencies use Acolite just like they use virtual assistants but faster, scalable, and always available.

Forward an email or delegate a task from your AMS, and Acolite handles:

  • Certificate generation: reads policy data, verifies coverage, and generates COIs from any AMS
  • Carrier submissions: pre-fills ACORDs, normalizes data, validates apps - cutting hours of work into minutes of review
  • SOV processing: cleans & standardizes multi-property PDFs and Excel files
  • Updating the AMS: extract data from carrier websites to update policy information during renewals and changes

Their AI runs in a secure browser environment with humans-in-the-loop.
