Aymeric Rabot

This story’s wild, let me tell you about Aymeric Rabot, dude’s the real deal in the fintech world. He’s a YC W17 alum, so he crushed it early on, and now he’s a major player in the insurance tech scene.

So, Aymeric started out with a pretty solid background in engineering, got master’s in aerospace from Florida and another in mechanical from Arts et Métiers in Paris. Not your average startup guy, right? But what’s crazy is, instead of sticking to aerospace or mechanical stuff, he jumped into the software game, working as a Software Engineer at Thales, which is a huge name in tech and defense. That gave him some serious chops in complex tech and problem-solving.

Then, in 2016, he co-founded Ledger Investing, which is all about insurance securitization, basically turning insurance risks into tradable financial products. This isn’t some niche, either, it’s backed by Y Combinator’s Winter 2017 batch, so he’s proven he knows how to build and scale up. Ledger is a marketplace making insurance more fast and accessible, which is pretty new in the fintech space.

But Aymeric isn’t just about building cool tech. He’s also deep in the venture world now. He’s a Venture Partner at Pioneer Fund, which means he’s out here spotting the future trend, and he’s an advisor at Trendful, helping guide startups and new ideas. You can tell he’s super passionate about startups, fintech, and making shit happen.

What’s wild is how his process shows you what it really means to be a founder. The guy’s not afraid to jump from aerospace and defense into fintech, taking big risks, and using his engineering smarts to solve real-world problems. He’s all about pushing boundaries and turning complex stuff into something that can change the game.

Bottom line, Aymeric Rabot is the kind of founder who’s not just sitting around talking; he’s out here building the future of insurance tech, backing his ideas with serious expertise, and helping other startups along the way. No Cap, he’s one to watch because he’s got that mix of technical genius, startup hustle, and a vision that’s changing how finance and insurance work.
