GTM Analytics & Strategy
What We DoShepherd is an AI-native commercial insurance platform transforming how high-hazard industries get covered. Our mission is to make risk frictionless for the builders and operators shaping the physical world — protecting progress from concept through construction and into decades of operation.The infrastructure behind the AI boom — data centers, semiconductor fabs, renewable energy assets — has to be built and insured. But traditional carriers weren't built for this speed:Complex commercial construction projects routinely wait weeks for a single quoteLegacy carriers rely on static applications and disconnected systemsBrokers chase carriers through calls, emails, and resubmissionsWe built Shepherd to solve that. Our AI performs the same underwriting workflows in seconds, and integrates real-time data from construction technology partners — Procore, Autodesk, OpenSpace, DroneDeploy, and others — to see risk as it actually exists, not just as it was reported on a static form.We're pursuing the most ambitious technical vision in commercial insurance: fully autonomous underwriting. We're closing in on the first fully agentic submission in the industry — email in, price out, no human intervention until the last mile.With Shepherd, safety, speed, and quality no longer trade off against one another — they compound. We're building:Faster decisionsSmarter, more accurate pricingBetter risk outcomes for insureds who invest in safer practicesWe're not just modernizing insurance products. We're building the risk infrastructure for the next generation of financial services.Our InvestorsIn March 2026, Shepherd raised a $42M Series B — bringing total funding to over $60M — led by Intact Private Capital, the investment arm of one of the largest insurers in the world. Intact is not only our lead investor but also a carrier partner, a testament to the confidence the incumbent industry has in what we're building.
