PRICE WHAT HAS NEVER BEEN PRICED.
Princeps is a YC S26 company. We underwrite risk for the compute economy from San Francisco. The team is small and senior; every hire sets the standard for the ones after.
GTM / OUTREACH — 2X
Open the market. Find the operators, neoclouds, and labs carrying uninsured compute risk, get us in the room, and turn conversations into bound policies. You are direct, relentless, and comfortable selling something that has never been sold before.
FOUNDING UNDERWRITER / ACTUARY
Build pricing models for risks with no loss history: GPU fleet interruption, SLA breach, model-output liability. You have priced hard things before — specialty lines, cat risk, credit — and want to do it where the actuarial tables don't exist yet.
FOUNDING ENGINEER
Build the pricing kernel, the exposure data pipeline, and the paper itself. Small surface, high stakes. You should be comfortable owning systems end to end and working directly with underwriting.
