Rote handles the entire negotiation lifecycle between shops and insurance companies to help them recover thousands of dollars in denied claims. Shops today lose millions per year because they lack the resources to negotiate with insurance companies that undervalue repair costs. Rote's agents recover denied revenue by taking shop estimates and referencing technical repair data to autonomously file and defend shop claims.

If you're behind Rote: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
