Ascend

<div>
 What We Do
 
 
 Ascend is transforming the $10 trillion global insurance industry by combining AI automation with embedded fintech.
 
 
 While insurance represents 7.2% of global GDP, outdated financial infrastructure like PDFs, emails, and manual reconciliation continues to slow the industry down. Ascend is the first and market-leading finance automation platform built specifically for insurance, driving the industry's rapid digital transformation.
 
 
 In just three years:
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Trusted by thousands of insurance businesses nationwide

As both software buyers and builders, we fully embrace this shift&mdash;it makes technology more powerful and accessible. However, businesses must also maximize monetization, and the future belongs to those that embed themselves into financial flows rather than simply selling SaaS.
 
 
 That's why AI + fintech is our edge&mdash;seamlessly integrating financial automation into transactions to create real, lasting value. Customers don't just buy software; they unlock powerful financial efficiencies with a 5&ndash;7x ROI.
