About Us

ALTO isn't just digitizing insurance—we're reimagining it from the ground up.

Expansive field under a dramatic sky representing market opportunity

Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) insurance represents a $110+ billion market opportunity, yet remains trapped in outdated processes and systems. We're changing that.

ALTO delivers an Apple-like experience to the insurance industry through our intuitive, seamless platform designed for both brokers and carriers. We leverage cutting-edge technology to transform fragmented, analog workflows into streamlined digital transactions.

Our proprietary data enrichment technology enhances every submission with over 700 additional data points, enabling unprecedented precision in risk assessment. Through advanced AI and machine learning algorithms, we automate underwriting decisions that once required manual intervention, dramatically reducing processing time while improving accuracy.

What truly sets ALTO apart is our commitment to innovation. Our hexagonal grid analysis divides geographic regions into precise units, allowing for sophisticated geospatial risk assessment that traditional systems simply cannot match. This approach doesn't just improve pricing—it revolutionizes how risk is evaluated in the SME sector.

By removing friction from the insurance process, we empower brokers to focus on client relationships rather than paperwork, while giving carriers the tools to scale profitably in a segment that was previously challenging to serve efficiently.
