Elysian, the AI-native TPA and claims quality platform company, today announced its inclusion in two prominent insurance industry analyst reports: CB Insights’ 2026 Insurtech 50 and Datos Insights’ Insurtech for Property and Casualty Insurers 2026.

Selection for each report is a significant milestone for an emerging insurtech. Recognition in both reports represents an exceptional achievement for Elysian, founded in 2024, and underscores its growing industry presence and commitment to transforming claims quality, strengthening oversight, and improving outcomes for the industry’s most complex claims.

The two reports provide distinct perspectives on the Insurtech landscape, helping insurance executives, investors, and technology decisionmakers identify emerging companies, evaluate new technologies, and explore opportunities for innovation.

CB Insights’ annual Insurtech 50 identifies promising insurtech startups from around the world. Its selection process incorporates proprietary data and predictive signals, including business relationships, investor strength, commercial maturity, and market momentum.

"The 2026 Insurtech 50 reveals the top startups shaking up the insurance industry's status quo," said Chris Sekerak, Lead Analyst at CB Insights. "The common thread across the cohort is the ability to scale differentiated businesses that are unlikely to be displaced by large AI or insurance companies."

Datos Insights’ annual Insurtech for Insurers report profiles 200 startups considered noteworthy for their technology approaches, business models, or potential impact on the North American insurance industry.

A Milestone for Elysian

“Recognition by one of these respected industry analyst firms is an incredible honor. To be included in both is a tremendous milestone for our young company,” said Grace Hanson, Founder and CEO of Elysian. “I founded Elysian to build the technology and claims operations I needed as a claims executive. This recognition is especially meaningful because it brings greater visibility to a problem our team is passionate about solving: delivering consistent, defensible claims quality at scale, without losing the human expertise and judgment that claims demand.”

Further highlighting Elysian’s growing presence in the insurtech community, Hanson participated in the CB Insights Top 50 Insurtech Report: Unpacking the World’s Most Promising Insurtech Startups session at ITC Vegas on October 1, 2026.

Bringing Claims Quality at Scale to the Forefront of Insurtech Innovation

Elysian combines purpose-built AI with decades of hands-on claims expertise to help insurers move beyond traditional, retrospective claims audits and toward continuous quality oversight throughout the claims lifecycle.

“Elysian’s recognition by both CB Insights and Datos Insights is a great endorsement of what we’re building,” said Ian Thompson, Elysian Strategic Advisory Board Member. “But for me, the real significance is what sits underneath that recognition - Elysian’s work in tackling one of the biggest challenges for claim leaders: ensuring consistent, measurable, and continuous quality before the file is closed. Elysian is making this ambition achievable through its market-leading Ely Audit and Ely Adjust solutions, which are unique in that they have been developed by claim people for claim people.”
