About Us

We’re an insurtech start-up. Our mission is to simplify and automate shopping for home and auto insurance by applying technologies to save time and money for shoppers and insurers alike. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Savvy, we power intelligent insurance experiences using machine learning, real-time bidding, and conversational AI, backed by a team of nationally licensed insurance advisors.

We’re fast-growing and profitable. Trellis is founded by Daniel Demetri, a third-time fintech entrepreneur who has successfully built and scaled multiple fintech and insurtech companies that now operate as publicly traded businesses. We are backed by top investors, including QED (Credit Karma, SoFi), General Catalyst (Airbnb, Stripe), Nyca (Acorns, Revolut), and Amex Ventures. Our partners include top personal finance apps, financial institutions, and digital banks.

We’re fully remote. We believe it helps us find the best talent anywhere, gives our team maximum flexibility, and enables us to build better products together.
