About Koah
Koah Labs is building an ad network purpose-built for AI-native products and generative AI applications, enabling publishers to monetize their AI chat applications without compromising user experience. The company provides an SDK that allows AI chat apps and consumer applications to display native sponsored content and commercial links directly within conversations, with ad formats and targeting specifically designed for conversational AI interfaces rather than traditional banner and video ads. Koah serves both publishers—including AI chat apps and indie developer applications—and advertisers seeking to reach high-intent users. Backed by Forerunner Ventures and South Park Commons, the San Francisco-headquartered company has approximately 20 employees distributed across offices in San Francisco, New York, and remote locations.

We’re building the first autonomous insurance group, starting with Morrow, our AI-native commercial insurance brokerage. We help businesses find, compare, and buy insurance across 100+ carriers. Every placement deepens our understanding of businesses, risk, and underwriting. We’re turning that knowledge into an insurance ontology that gives our AI agents the context to reason, apply judgment, and execute insurance workflows autonomously across calls, emails, and carrier portals. Our ambition is to build the most comprehensive intelligence layer in the industry. Over time, we’ll use this foundation to develop and underwrite our own insurance products. Insurance spending represents 12% of U.S. GDP, and we want to go after all of it. We’re backed by C-suite executives at some of the world’s largest insurers, first-check investors in Rippling and Twilio, and a Cloudflare board member.
