We’re excited to welcome Kavya & Alex to Sixfold! 🎉 We were curious to know what sparked their interest in joining us, and here’s what they shared: Kavya Jonnavithula: "Sixfold is at the forefront of leveraging AI to transform the underwriting process. Their ability to use cutting-edge technology to drive smarter, more efficient risk assessment is truly inspiring. Sixfold is home to some of the most talented minds in the industry and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to its continued success and innovation.

Through my experience at multiple InsurTechs in the commercial space and working to scale insurance operations end-to-end, I’ve observed the significant challenges underwriters face in processing submissions and manually researching risks."

What do Advent of Code and Sixfold have in common? We both love problem-solving! AoC is an advent calendar with small programming puzzles for various skill levels, solvable in any language you choose. At Sixfold, our “puzzles” are just a little different — we're using AI to solve manual problems for underwriters 🧩 We’re proud to sponsor Advent of Code this year and support its community of coders. Many of our engineers are currently competing on our private leaderboard using their favorite languages! Join them here ➡️ https://adventofcode.com/

We had an exciting chat for Beyond the Policy with Kevin Cornell, Program Underwriter at NSM Insurance Group, where he shared some great insights into underwriting success! So, what’s the key? 🤔 According to Kevin, it all starts with critical thinking. But there’s more: ✅ Consistency – Stick to a consistent approach when analyzing accounts. ✅ Ask questions – Don’t feel the need to hold back; it’s better than making avoidable mistakes. ✅ Communication – Strong, clear communication with agents makes all the difference.

Beyond having a service mindset, Alex shared a few other key skills that set great underwriters apart: ✅ Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills ✅ The ability to say "no" to brokers when necessary ✅ Taking ownership of all their data — not just risk data Read the full Q&A with Alex here: https://lnkd.in/ec7E5Aax

We've been working on this for a bit and it's exciting to officially unveil...Beyond the Policy. At Sixfold, we talk to underwriters all the time—on calls, in meetings, at conferences, and through feedback on everything we create. Why? Because understanding the real challenges underwriters face is at the core of what we do. From those conversations, we realized there’s no central digital space where underwriters can stay updated on industry innovations, exchange insights, and find tools to grow their careers. So, we teamed up with some of the world's best underwriters to build it. I’m super excited to introduce Beyond the Policy, Sixfold’s innovation hub designed exclusively for underwriters. Please check it out, give me feedback, and hope you'll consider joining, contributing, and learning. #funderwriting

We’re thrilled to FINALLY launch our innovation hub dedicated to underwriters: Beyond the Policy! After countless conversations with underwriters, one thing became clear—there’s no central digital space to stay on top of industry innovations and connect with other underwriters. So, we thought, let’s build that space! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eN4SyVRY A huge thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts and feedback to help bring this to life. Special shout-out to Caroline Thompson, Alex Fitzpatrick, Kevin Cornell, Kelly Davis, Mike Cruz and Alex Sarafoglou for participating in our first Q&As, and to Matt Kelly, Brian Moseley, Ian P. Cook, PhD for sharing their expertise! #Funderwriting #Insurance
