Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company

Based in California, US, and founded in 2024 by co-founders Rune Kvist, and Rajiv Dattani. Caliber Labs, PBC. , doing business as Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company, offers innovative solutions for AI agents. The company was established to address the growing need for standards in AI insurance and certification.

In September 2026, Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company raised USD 40 million in series A funding led by Ribbit Capital, with participation from First Harmonic and Terrain. AIUC specializes in providing standards and insurance solutions for AI agents, primarily through its flagship product, the AIUC-1 certification. This certification addresses critical aspects such as data privacy, security, safety, reliability, accountability, and societal risks, enabling enterprises to adopt AI technologies with confidence. AIUC’s services cater to a diverse clientele, including enterprises looking to implement AI solutions securely, as well as AI companies seeking to demonstrate their compliance with the rigorous AIUC-1 standard.

By creating a 'confidence infrastructure' that encompasses both certification and insurance, AIUC aims to facilitate the safe integration of AI into various industries. The company operates primarily in the North American market, targeting enterprises at the forefront of AI adoption. AIUC generates revenue through a dual model that encompasses certification fees and insurance premiums. AI companies invest in obtaining the AIUC-1 certification to enhance their credibility and trustworthiness among enterprise clients.

Following certification, these AI companies typically purchase insurance that protects their clients from potential financial losses due to AI agent failures. This model fosters ongoing partnerships, as enterprises engage with certified AI providers while utilizing the insurance products as a safeguard against liability. The specific pricing structure for certification and insurance products is designed to reflect the value these services provide in mitigating risks associated with AI deployment, allowing AIUC to establish itself as a pivotal player in the burgeoning AI insurance market. The company will use the proceeds from its September 2026 Series A to extend its audits, standards, and insurance infrastructure from AI agents to frontier AI models and create a broader ecosystem for frontier oversight.

AIUC is also recruiting across go-to-market, operations, product, engineering, research, and founder’s-office roles in San Francisco to support this expansion.
