Insuretech Outmarket raises $34.5M just months after prior round

Publisher preview

Vishal Sankhala led product at a digital life insurance distributor Ethos before it went public earlier this year. In late 2023, the seasoned engineering executive, who had previously worked at Facebook and Uber, left Ethos and launched Outmarket, a startup that uses AI to help insurance agencies and brokers automate all their tedious paperwork. “Ninety-five percent of insurance in the U.S. and worldwide is still sold through [human] agents, and when you look at sort of like how the process is today, it’s very manual,” Sankhala told TechCrunch. “This is…

What building an AI-native finance function taught me

Publisher preview

Finance has become a real-time function. To me, the opportunity is much bigger than closing the books faster or refreshing a forecast more often. It is about seeing the business as it changes, helping leaders act sooner, and giving finance teams more time to shape what happens next. When I joined OpenAI two years ago, there was only a small finance team supporting a company growing at extraordinary speed. We needed to build the function from the ground up and make AI fundamental to how we work, make decisions, and…

Model ML completes finance work more efficiently with GPT-5.6 Sol

The finished PowerPoint deck or Excel workbook has to be editable and ready for scrutiny. Model ML cofounders and brothers Arnie and Chaz Englander saw how much…

Disrupting a Cambodia-based criminal scam operation

Publisher preview

OpenAI disrupted a Cambodia-based scam operation using ChatGPT to support investment, romance, gambling, and impersonation schemes. Earlier this year, we disrupted a Cambodia-based scam operation that used ChatGPT to support investment, romance, gambling, and law enforcement impersonation schemes. We began investigating this activity following a lead from our peers at WhatsApp and have since shared additional threat signals with industry partners and relevant authorities. The operation illustrates an important reality about modern scam networks: organized criminal groups rarely restrict themselves to a single type of scam. Instead, they opportunistically employ…
