Company
Built by operators who lived the problem.
Matheus Riolfi and Jérôme Selles didn't start Tint because insurance was a market opportunity. They started it because they had lived, firsthand, how broken the infrastructure was — and they believed they could fix it.
How We Started
They set out to build what the industry was missing.
In 2018, Matheus Riolfi and Jérôme Selles set out to build embedded insurance infrastructure the way it should have been built from the start — designed for modern platforms, compliant by default, and invisible to the end customer except when they need it most.
They knew the problem from the inside. Both had spent years at Turo building insurance capabilities in-house — navigating fragmented systems, manual compliance, and carriers never designed for usage-based, embedded products. They did it. And in doing it, they saw that every platform in every vertical would eventually face the same wall.
Tint was the answer to that wall. Infrastructure built once, built right — that any brand with customers worth covering could rely on.
Today, Tint powers insurance programs across mobility, property management, transportation and logistics, travel, and more. Hermes — our AI-native operating system — handles the full insurance lifecycle from quote to claim, in production, at scale.
We're still the first customer of everything we build.
That's what makes Tint different. We don't just sell infrastructure — we run programs on it. Every feature exists because we needed it first.
What Drives Us
Mission
Protect people by powering insurance with the brands that know them best.
Vision
Make insurance a feature, not a product.
Our Values
How we make decisions.
Customers First
Every decision starts with the people who need coverage. If it isn't good for them, it isn't good for us.
Ambitious Outcomes
We set targets that require us to grow, and we hold ourselves accountable to reaching them.
Constructive Candor
We say what we think, directly and kindly. Honest feedback is how we get better.
Compliant Agility
We move fast and we do it right. Speed and compliance aren't opposites — they're both required.
The Team
A remote-first team built around outcomes.
Tint is a distributed team of insurance professionals, engineers, and operators working from across the US. We're remote-first by design — because great talent isn't concentrated in one city, and we've always believed the best ideas come from people who aren't all in the same room.
Backed By
Investors who believe insurance can be better.
Tint has raised $30M in total funding, including a $25M Series A led by QED Investors — one of the leading fintech-focused venture firms in the world. Additional investors include Nyca Partners, Deciens Capital, Y Combinator, Webb Investment Network, Soma Capital, and Plug and Play.
