Explosive Growth and Rapid Industry Adoption Drive New Funding Round Just Months After Series A

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Outmarket AI, the leading AI platform purpose-built for insurance, today announced it has raised $34.5 million in Series B funding. The round was led by SignalFire, with participation from Fika Ventures, Permanent Capital Ventures, TTV Capital and Dash Fund. Coming just a few months after the company announced a $17 million Series A, the latest investment brings Outmarket’s total funding to $56.5 million.

The decision to raise a Series B so soon after the previous round was driven by Outmarket’s explosive growth and rapid market adoption this year. The platform has scaled at a record pace, recently surpassing 10,000 active users. Today, over 300 agency customers, including over 25% of the Top 100 insurance agencies, rely on Outmarket daily to transform fragmented agency data into intelligent workflows. To support this scale, Outmarket has significantly expanded its growing team with top-tier talent spanning engineering, insurance operations, and customer success.

“We didn’t set out to raise again this soon, but the industry told us what it wants,” said Vishal Sankhla, CEO and Co-founder of Outmarket AI. “Agencies don’t want another point solution. They want an intelligence layer that understands their data and does the work. Every workflow we automate frees up hours that go back to clients, and that’s the future we’re building toward: an industry where the people who protect businesses and families spend their time on judgment and relationships, not on rekeying data.  With this investment, we’re accelerating our roadmap to bring even more value to the agencies that depend on us every day.”

Outmarket’s comprehensive platform connects directly to agency management systems (AMS) automating complex, high-stakes processes across commercial, benefits, personal lines, and specialty insurance. Customers using Outmarket consistently report drastic reductions in manual work, minimized E&O exposure through AI-assisted policy gap detection, and increased revenue. For employee benefits professionals specifically, Outmarket’s tailored capabilities have become indispensable for streamlining renewals, benchmarking, and proposal generation. The company will also begin extending its capabilities to carriers later this year, laying the groundwork for a more connected market where information moves between agencies and carriers without manual handoffs.

“The scale we’ve reached this year has allowed us to build increasingly powerful capabilities into the platform,” said Anshu Jain, CTO and Co-founder of Outmarket AI. “Our architecture unifies structured and unstructured data so insurance professionals can execute workflows grounded in their actual policies, contracts and client records. When you build an AI platform that natively speaks the language of insurance, the value is immediate and it compounds with every workflow we add.”

New Certificates of Insurance Workflow

In conjunction with the Series B announcement, Outmarket released a new Certificates workflow. Certificates of insurance are one of the highest volume and most thankless tasks in every agency. Account managers issue thousands of certificates a year, often within hours of a client request, and every one carries E&O exposure if a holder, endorsement or coverage requirement is missed. Outmarket’s Certificates workflow automates the entire process. It reads the client’s contract or lease, extracts the insurance requirements, checks them against the policies already in the AMS, flags any gaps, and generates the completed ACORD certificate with the correct holders, additional insureds and endorsements attached. Early customers report issuing certificates in a few minutes and significantly reducing certificate-related errors.

The release builds on Outmarket’s rapid product momentum, including a recently-launched AI-powered loss run extraction and analysis tool, comprehensive employee benefits capabilities designed to eliminate manual workflows, and a unified data intelligence platform that provides agencies with a single source of truth.

“We’ve tracked Outmarket’s trajectory closely, and their execution over the past year has been nothing short of exceptional,” said Tony Pezzullo, Partner at SignalFire. “To capture this much market share in such a short window is a rare achievement, and even rarer in a complex vertical like insurance. Outmarket isn’t just riding the AI wave; they are the undisputed market leaders setting the standard for how agencies will operate in the intelligence era. We are thrilled to lead this Series B and double down on their vision.”

LeapXpert and Carahsoft Partner to Bring Governed Messaging Solutions to the Public Sector

Advanced Communications Platform Now Available to Federal, State and Local Government Agencies

NEW YORK and RESTON, Va., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LeapXpert, the leader in Governed Communication Intelligence, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership to bring governed messaging to the Public Sector. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as LeapXpert’s Master Government Aggregator®, making The LeapXpert Communications Platform available to Federal, State and Local Government agencies through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract and The Quilt contracts.

Government officials increasingly rely on consumer messaging channels, including WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage and SMS, to communicate with colleagues, constituents and external stakeholders. Yet many agencies lack the infrastructure needed to capture, govern and archive these conversations in accordance with National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) record retention requirements, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) obligations and broader Federal security mandates. The result is a growing compliance gap between how Public Sector employees communicate and what agencies can account for.

The LeapXpert Communications Platform enables secure communication across consumer messaging channels while capturing conversations in real time, allowing organizations to apply policy and governance as communications take place. LeapXpert serves hundreds of enterprise customers and hundreds of thousands of employees and professionals across 50 countries, spanning financial services, Government and the Forbes Global 2000.

“Federal employees are already having these conversations on WhatsApp and Signal. Until now, the record of them lived on a personal phone, outside every system meant to protect it,” said Avi Pardo, Co-Founder and CBO at LeapXpert. “Government is now our fastest-growing segment, and the demand is arriving faster than a direct sales motion can meet it. Carahsoft brings the agency relationships and the contract reach to close that gap, and its reseller and value-added partner community extends it further than we could build on our own timeline.”

“Government agencies need secure, governed communications across the messaging channels their employees already rely on,” said Brian O’Donnell, Vice President of Cybersecurity Solutions at Carahsoft. “LeapXpert’s Communications Platform provides agencies with a scalable path to integrate governed messaging across their organization, providing a solution that meets Federal security and compliance requirements. Together with our reseller partners, Carahsoft and LeapXpert are delivering Government-grade, mission-ready messaging security across the Public Sector.”

LeapXpert’s solutions are available through Carahsoft’s TIPS Contract #220105, OMNIA Partners Contract #R240303, E&I Contract #EI00063~2021MA and The Quilt Master Service Agreement Number MSA05012019-F. For more information, contact the Carahsoft Team at (703) 889-9710 or LeapXpert@carahsoft.com. Learn more about LeapXpert’s solutions here.
