Cytora CEO on Transforming Insurance Risk with AI and Scaling Post-Acquisition | Ep.373

How can unstructured data become decision-ready risk? And why did Cytora rebuild its platform using large language models? Richard Hartley, CEO and Co-founder of Cytora, joins Matthew Grant to discuss the company's acquisition by Applied Systems and what it means for the future of insurance workflows. Richard shares lessons from building and scaling Cytora, including the pivot from political risk to transforming how risk flows through commercial insurance. He explains why Cytora adopted generative AI early, the challenges of going deep on product in a specialist market and how blending insurance domain knowledge with external thinking has shaped their approach.
