Insurance technology company Guidewire announced Tuesday the acquisition of Hyperexponential, an AI-driven underwriting platform, for $17 billion in cash. The deal, expected to close next year, aims to integrate AI agents that assist human underwriters in analyzing and pricing decisions. The total deal value could reach approximately $2 billion, with an additional $400 million reserved if certain revenue milestones are achieved.
Hyperexponential, backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Battery Ventures, was founded in 2017 and has raised nearly $90 million to date. The U.K.-based startup reports that nearly 600 insurers across 40 countries use its software, marking a significant milestone for both the company and its investors.
