Deep dives
The Birth of AgentSync
The idea for AgentSync emerged from the founders' experiences in the tech space and the challenges they observed within the insurance industry. Jen Knight and her husband Niji discovered that insurance companies struggled with agent licensing and compliance, prompting Niji to leave his job to pursue a solution. While Jen continued working full-time at Dropbox, she dedicated her evenings and weekends to building the product. Their initial efforts faced skepticism, but after landing their first customer, they realized they were addressing a significant need in the market.
