At Fairmatic, we’re on a mission to make roads safer—one fleet at a time.

We’re revolutionizing auto insurance with AI and data-driven insights, offering personalized options that reward safe driving with meaningful savings. Our predictive risk models, trained on 200 billion miles of driving data, have been tested by hundreds of thousands of drivers, proving their real-world impact.

Our leadership team brings together serial entrepreneurs, insurance industry pioneers, and seasoned startup veterans—raising over $88M in funding in under a year.

We’re an insurtech company with AI at our core—but at Fairmatic, AI isn’t just for engineers. We believe everyone can elevate their workflow with the latest AI tools.

Join our global team of curious, adaptable technologists and problem-solvers who are passionate about making a real-world difference!
