In this episode, I go behind the scenes with Harper, a YC backed AI-native commercial insurance brokerage built by founders Dakotah Rice and Tushar Nair. The founders have raised $47M in combined seed and Series A funding, led by Emergence Capital, with backing from Y Combinator and Peak XV Partners. A traditional broker takes five to seven days to source quotes and place a business with the right cover. Harper does it in one to two, matching small and mid-sized businesses against more than 160 carriers for insurance products like workers' compensation, general liability, and professional liability, and many more. Dakotah grew up around his family's insurance brokerage and watched the system fail small business owners in real time. He and Tushar had already built and shut down an investment platform called Poolit, which raised $10.6M in seed funding, before reuniting to start Harper in 2024, going through Y Combinator's W25 batch. The company is adding roughly 1,000 new customers a month, a volume no human sales team could touch. The question Harper is trying to answer in real time, can two founders rebuild an entire industry's back-end fast enough with AI to capture that demand, without the whole thing breaking under its own growth? Inside this episode: - Harper's 5:15am sales briefing and the push to close quotes before deadline - A live bug where a parsing error made customer quotes look like pure "fees and taxes" - Dakotah walking through Harper's AI voice agents taking over intake across new verticals, live - The internal debate over which metric actually signals growth, first-pass rate or quote speed - A funnel review naming 38 stuck applications, one by one - Dakotah and Tushar on surviving a failed company, letting go of founder mode, and what it actually takes to build at venture scale Harper has automated its way past nearly every bottleneck a traditional broker runs into. The one that's left is the founders themselves.
