What Polygrade is building
Polygrade automates the entire home warranty claim: first notice of loss, pre-dispatch triage, authorization, parts procurement and contractor payment. The architecture choice is the point. Instead of one monolithic model, it uses 'task-specific AI agents that specialize in distinct stages of the claims lifecycle': one agent pre-diagnoses the failure before a tech rolls, another runs the authorization review against the contract, another sources the part. It's already live. Customers include Fidelity National Home Warranty and Cinch Home Services, with parts suppliers Encompass, UED, Sibi and Marcone connected. The company reports 180,000 claims processed and $22M in analyzed savings. The roadmap extends the same claim pipeline to extended warranty, OEM warranty and equipment-breakdown insurance, all of which share the diagnose → authorize → part → pay pattern.
Why this matters
Warranty claims are high-volume, rules-heavy and expensive to get wrong in both directions: overpaying contractors or wrongly denying homeowners. As David Steckel puts it, 'Warranty is a massive industry that never really got its modern software moment.' The founders ran product and technology at Sears Home Services, so they know where cost leaks: an unnecessary truck roll, the wrong part ordered, a slow authorization. Agentic AI fits this workflow unusually well because each stage has a clear input, a clear decision and an auditable outcome.

Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Polygrade uses an ATS, but referrals still come first. Cold applications aren't ignored — they're just behind referrals, sourced candidates, and recruiter picks.

What to show them
Build a small parts-sourcing agent: take an appliance model number and failure description, return the likely part with compatible substitutes and availability from a mocked supplier catalog, plus a confidence score and the reason it chose that part.

What Polygrade screens for
Construct Capital only backs 'foundational industries.' Leading here means they see warranty as infrastructure, not insurtech. American Family Ventures is an insurer's strategic arm, an early hint at the equipment-breakdown insurance expansion. Polygrade already has named carriers live and is hiring forward-deployed engineers, the classic sign that integrations are the bottleneck. With no careers page yet, a direct, specific email to a founder is the only way in, and almost nobody else will send one.
Tailor your CV to the specific Polygrade role rather than sending a general one. Applications that mirror the language of the job description clear automated filters at a materially higher rate.
Don't make these mistakes
David spent 15 years as a general contractor before founding Setter, and Eui has nearly 30 years running technology at Sears and Transformco. Don't explain home services or 'how AI can transform insurance' to them. Never call warranty 'boring'. It's their whole thesis. Show you understand a specific claim step, like pre-dispatch diagnosis or parts substitution.
Mistakes that kill Polygrade applications
Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. At people it's obvious, and it's the fastest rejection there is.
Lead with their problem, not your ambition. Polygrade is focused on Warranty claims are high-volume, rules-heavy and expensive to get wrong in both directions: overpaying contractors or wrongly denying homeowners — show you understand that.
Don't apply and wait. The median AI application gets no response ever. One follow-up at day five roughly doubles reply rates.
