From Accelerator to Demo Day: Meet Capitawise, the Fintech Solving Data Inefficiencies in Insurance

As part of the FinTech Wales Foundry 2025 accelerator, we sat down with Akanksha Rais, Founder of Capitawise, to learn about the company’s mission, the journey through the Foundry so far, and what lies ahead.

Q: Can you introduce yourself and what Capitawise does?

A: I’m Akanksha Rais, Founder of Capitawise. I bring over 26 years of experience in the insurance industry. Capitawise was built to solve a pressing issue I encountered throughout my career—disconnected and siloed data within insurance companies. Our mission is to help insurers make better strategic and capital planning decisions by delivering a unified view of their financial data, powered by AI and automation.

Q: What specific problems are you solving for insurers?

A: Many senior decision-makers in insurance work with outdated or incomplete information, leading to strategic blind spots. Capitawise eliminates data silos and connects key insights across functions, enabling a single source of truth. This empowers leadership teams to act with greater confidence and clarity.

Q: How has your experience been on the Foundry accelerator?

A: It’s been one of the best experiences we’ve had. The Foundry has provided access to expert mentors, legal and funding advice, and a strong network of peers. Sessions with Capital Law, investment deep-dives, and practical guidance from fintech veterans have been incredibly valuable.

Q: Any standout moments so far?

A: So many! A recent session with Dayle from Delio stood out for its insight and relevance. Sessions from the FinTech Wales team and cohort mentors helped clarify areas we didn’t even know we needed to focus on—it’s been truly eye-opening.

Q: What can people expect from you at Demo Day?

A: I’m excited (and a bit nervous!) to present our vision to investors and stakeholders. Demo Day is a great opportunity to showcase how Capitawise can transform decision-making within the insurance industry. We’re building something new and necessary—something that didn’t exist before.

Q: What’s ahead for Capitawise in the next 6–12 months?

A: We’re in exciting conversations with insurers, captives, and captive managers. The next step is onboarding those partners and expanding the use of our solution. We’re entering a phase of validation and growth, and we can’t wait to see our technology in action across the industry.

Q: Who should know about Capitawise?

A: Anyone in the insurance space—whether you’re a personal lines insurer, health or life provider, commercial insurer, MGA, or a captive manager. If you deal with complex data and want to improve decision-making and capital planning, Capitawise is for you. We also welcome interest from potential investors and collaborators.
