Anzen, the AI-powered platform redefining how commercial insurance is distributed, has announced a $16m Series A funding round, bringing its total capital raised to $26m.
The tranche was led by Madrona, with participation from Sandbox Industries, SNR, Andreessen Horowitz, and other leading investors, according to Insurance Edge.
Anzen intends to use the new funding to expand its AI-powered workflows, strengthen carrier and AMS integrations, and grow its team to support its rapidly expanding agent base.
The Series A will also accelerate product development, including deeper carrier integrations, new commercial property and auto support, and the public launch of Anzen Pro—a unified workspace enabling agencies to submit, quote, bind, renew, and manage their entire book of business.
Anzen is an AI-powered platform transforming commercial insurance distribution by automating manual workflows that traditionally relied on PDFs and email threads.
Its core technology, Anzen AI, powers Anzen Pro, an end-to-end workspace that converts unstructured submissions into structured data, routes risks to the right markets, compares quotes in seconds, and integrates seamlessly with agents’ existing email and agency management systems.
The platform supports both direct carrier placements and wholesale distribution, helping independent agents and brokerages streamline operations, reduce overhead by over 30 percent, and focus more on clients and growth.
By mid-2026, Anzen expects Anzen Pro to handle 80 percent of all commercial insurance workflows within a single system, reducing fragmentation across the industry. Strategic partnerships across AI and data ecosystems, including risk intelligence, satellite imagery, claims data, and third-party models, will further enhance the platform’s capabilities.
“We’re solving the structural inefficiency at the core of commercial insurance distribution,” said Max Bruner, Anzen’s Founder & CEO. “This funding accelerates our mission to give every independent agent the technology and market access they need to work every deal, regardless of size or complexity. For years, we’ve been building and using these workflows ourselves as practicing wholesale brokers. We didn’t just theorize what the industry needs—we lived the pain and solved it in detail and at scale. Now agencies are flooding in because we’ve built what others couldn’t: a complete AI workspace that actually works for insurance distribution.”
“Commercial insurance distribution has been stuck in the analog era for far too long,” said Chris Picardo, Partner at Madrona. “Anzen is attacking the hardest part of the problem—Specialty, E&S, and Casualty lines where everything is done over email and siloed databases. By combining wholesale expertise with vertical AI, they’ve built a platform that transforms the back office and outcomes delivered by independent agents and the largest brokerages.”
