Valgo is a risk quantification platform for insuring physical AI systems such as autonomous vehicles and robots. Because insurers lack historical claims data for these emerging systems, Valgo builds probabilistic models that generate simulated loss estimates, enabling insurers to properly price coverage for autonomy risk. The founding team brings deep expertise in safety-critical system validation from Stanford, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, and NASA, along with insurance industry leadership. Valgo is part of Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch.

- What problem does Valgo solve?
- Insurers lack historical claims data for autonomous vehicles and robots, making coverage hard to price. Valgo builds probabilistic models that generate simulated loss estimates so insurers can price autonomy risk.
- How does Valgo estimate losses without claims data?
- It builds probabilistic risk models, drawing on safety-critical system validation expertise, to simulate loss estimates rather than relying on traditional actuarial history.
- Who is the Valgo team?
- The founding team brings expertise in safety-critical system validation from Stanford, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, and NASA, along with insurance industry leadership.
- Who is Valgo built for?
- Insurers and underwriters that want to price and offer coverage for physical AI systems such as autonomous vehicles and robots.
