What We Do

Ascend is transforming the $10 trillion global insurance industry by combining AI automation with embedded fintech.

While insurance represents 7.2% of global GDP, outdated financial infrastructure like PDFs, emails, and manual reconciliation continues to slow the industry down. Ascend is the first and market-leading finance automation platform built specifically for insurance, driving the industry's rapid digital transformation.

In just three years :

• Trusted by thousands of insurance businesses nationwide
• Processes billions in transactions annually, growing 200%+ per year
• Built a world-class team of 50+ across San Francisco and Columbus

How We Do It

Ascend automates the entire insurance financial lifecycle-from collections and accounting to reconciliations and disbursements-helping businesses streamline operations and increase profitability.

In the AI era, software alone is no longer enough. For decades, software costs have declined, and with AI, they're now in free fall. As both software buyers and builders, we fully embrace this shift-it makes technology more powerful and accessible. However, businesses must also maximize monetization, and the future belongs to those that embed themselves into financial flows rather than simply selling SaaS.

That's why AI + fintech is our edge-seamlessly integrating financial automation into transactions to create real, lasting value. Customers don't just buy software; they unlock powerful financial efficiencies with a 5-7x ROI.

Why We Do It

Insurance is a $10 trillion-plus industry running on legacy systems. AI alone won't fix it, but AI-powered automation embedded into payments and transactions will.

Ascend's mission is to become the leading financial automation platform for insurance by 2030-powering the entire industry's financial operations while transforming the way trillions of dollars move.
