The modern consumer needs to assemble a patchwork of siloed solutions to navigate their financial life. Insurance is often the most disconnected. Trellis is a fully remote insurtech start-up that builds industry-leading solutions that make insurance easy for everyone, from consumers to partners to insurers.
We help financial institutions, fintechs, and other innovative companies to engage users across a broader set of financial needs and goals while diversifying revenue through embedded insurance. Some of our partners include Rocket Money (formerly Truebill), Acorns, and Albert, among dozens of other innovative companies.
We help insurers reach more of their target customers by utilizing cost-effective embedded insurance distribution channels in the leading apps and websites that consumers are already using.
We meet the consumers where they are and help them find the right personal insurance that meets their needs.
Our products simplify insurance by:
- Enabling consumers to easily link their existing insurance account information using just their username and password
- Providing more comprehensive and up-to-date consumer information than traditional prefill solutions while keeping consumer data safe and private
- Equipping our partners with a best-in-class insurance marketplace, with 150+ insurers, “apples-to-apples” coverage comparison, and online binding available today
- Complementing the digital experience with real human guidance from nationally-licensed insurance agents
- Offering a flexible implementation approach from simple white-labeled landing pages to robust API integrations
Trellis is backed by multiple top venture capital investors, including QED (Credit Karma, SoFi), General Catalyst (Airbnb, Stripe), Nyca (Acorns, Revolut), as well as Amex Ventures.

Imbellus builds simulation-based cognitive assessments that measure how people think, not just what they know. In the age of automation, it is imperative that schools prepare students to do what computers cannot, so our assessments evaluate the deep thinking skills that modern work and modern life require. Eventually, we'll replace standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, and state summative exams. We also work with corporate and government partners to support their hiring, upskilling, and retention practices.
Imbellus is an interdisciplinary team of learning scientists, game developers, artists, data scientists, and AI engineers with $23M in venture backing. For more on Imbellus, check out our website or some of the materials linked below. We’re also hiring!

Our mission is to fuel life through freshness. We strive to provide a culinary experience that is fresh, accessible, and naturally craveable. Premium-grade freshness is our sweet spot.
Sweetfin is a healthful, chef-driven, California inspired poke concept that uses local produce, sustainable fish, and innovative ingredients. In 2015, Sweetfin was created with the goal of providing healthy, nutritious and flavorful bowls and a more approachable way for diners to enjoy sushi. Our fine-casual restaurant concept takes all the familiar flavors of sushi and puts them in an easy to eat, portable, customizable, and affordable bowl.
Our culinary philosophy is centered in our “Pole to Bowl” ethos which means that in sourcing our fish we aim to use the highest-quality and most sustainable raw fish we can find while still maintaining a reasonable price point. This philosophy extends into all areas of our offerings - from our produce to our sauces and even to the ingredients used to infuse our teas. Our uniquely designed stores take on the same philosophy as our food - high quality, sustainable and locally-sourced where possible. We partner with local artists and craftsman's to create furniture pieces, art, and fixtures that are distinctive to Sweetfin.

struc•ture -- THE ARRANGEMENT OF AND RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTS OR ELEMENTS OF SOMETHING COMPLEX.
We are Structure Capital. We help passionate teams build great companies by investing seed-stage capital, time, experience and relationships. Building a valuable company is hard - weve done it - we can help you do it too. We love helping entrepreneurs reach their dreams.
We focus on companies that create a new market or new set of buyers by exploiting, capitalizing and profiting on under-utilized assets. Assets might include cars, houses, planes, airports, time, skills, knowledge, storage, transport, office space, hotel rooms, event space, personal property, and much, much more. We also like service and solutions companies that support these types of companies. If you have a company that can generate lots of revenue by tapping into under-utilized assets, you should probably give us a holler. Thanks
Current portfolio companies include Uber*, Peerspace, Surf Air, Boatbound, Breather, and 120 additional companies and teams!
