American Family Ventures' Brittany Clements on startups the fund backs

"Entrio's AI platform is focused on tech stack optimization, which comes in really handy for large regulated industries like banking and insurance. It ultimately is important because it helps organizations better understand what they have, how it's being utilized, and the value it drives so they can make better decisions to drive efficiencies across their business."

"Healthium is partnering with carriers at the product filing level today, which isn't necessarily an easy thing to do, but they're bundling their offering alongside existing insurance products in the critical illness and life sectors. They're able to leverage the expertise of carrier partners and robust existing distribution that's already in place, without having to build expertise."

"There is a massive wealth transfer that's about to transpire with aging demographics across the U.S. Many are focused on the planning involved. It's a challenging situation. Estate settlement means you're handed this dusty binder and have to navigate a process that takes hundreds of hours, way too much time and way too much money. I'm really excited about what Alix is building. I don't think it's an easy thing to build, but it's a really strong team. I'm excited to see what they do and how they're able to solve for what's a pretty painful issue for consumers today."
