Stitch Studio

What Stitch Studio does

StitchStudio is a Chicago-based, venture-backed software company founded in 2024 that builds a purpose-built AI platform for insurance operations. Its dual-layer architecture combines a proprietary domain-specific insurance knowledge graph with explainable AI agents that pair large language models with deterministic logic, enabling hybrid handling of structured and unstructured insurance data (PDFs, spreadsheets, policy systems, appetite guides, underwriting memos, broker notes). The platform is delivered single-tenant in the customer's environment with SOC 2 Type II certification and HIPAA alignment, and is positioned to move insurance AI from pilot to production within an 8-12 week deployment window.

The product portfolio centers on the StitchStudio Platform and a set of role-aware agents: the MarketMatch AI Agent for broker carrier matching, an AI Underwriting Agent that reduces manual referrals for life insurance, a Commission Setup Agent, and a No-Code AI Studio that lets non-technical business users build and tune agents. Customers are primarily insurance carriers and brokers, with secondary coverage of MGAs and TPAs across Group & Voluntary Benefits, Life & Annuities, and Commercial P&C. Named reference customers include Heffernan Insurance Brokers (50% improvement in carrier placement, 96-98% accuracy in policy checks), a leading life insurer (~$300K annual savings, RTU cut from 60% to 40%, auto-decision rate lifted from 40% to 70%), and a mid-sized TPA saving ~20 hours per analyst per week.

StitchStudio runs an enterprise field sales motion augmented by inside-sales demo requests, with a Connect-Contextualize-Tuning-Launch engagement model and outcome-based subscription pricing. The company joined the BrokerTech Ventures 2025 cohort and sponsors BrokerTech Connect 2026 as a presenting sponsor. It raised $3 million in seed funding in July 2025, co-led by ManchesterStory and BrokerTech Fund, appointed Karan Mishra (former EY partner) as CEO in July 2025 while founder Santoash Rajaram (ex-Apple, ex-Spraoi/FINEOS) continues as CTO, and operates with 1-10 employees from its Chicago headquarters at 306 W Erie Street.
