Feathery Secures Investment from Erie Insurance to Streamline Data Exchange in Underwriting

Feathery, a startup focused on automating data exchange in insurance underwriting, has secured a venture investment from Erie Insurance’s Strategic Ventures fund. The company aims to become the standard platform for how data flows between clients, brokers, and carriers, reducing inefficiencies from manual processes that often delay coverage decisions. Erie joins Feathery’s roster of backers including Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, Broker Tech Ventures, and SV Angel.

Founded by Peter Dun and Zack Khan, veterans of Robinhood and Hightouch, Feathery enables carriers and brokers to connect disparate systems using AI and no-code tools. The platform allows insurers to customize underwriting workflows, integrate data from more than 100 sources, and enrich risk assessments without overhauling their technology stacks. The result is a more adaptive infrastructure that helps underwriters and agents focus on higher-value work.

Strategic funds like Erie’s are helping established institutions gain insights into emerging automation technologies that could redefine underwriting and risk management. For wealth managers, Feathery’s work highlights how smarter, AI-enabled insurance infrastructure can streamline planning, improve risk transparency, and bridge data flows between insurance and advisory platforms.
