Infinity Ventures

We’re excited to lead Fintary's Series A and support Qiyun Cai and the team as they modernize financial operations for the insurance industry. Fintary is redefining how independent agencies and brokerages manage commissions, payouts, and financial reporting by replacing manual spreadsheet-driven workflows with automation and intelligence. The result is faster and more accurate cash flow recognition, better visibility for producers, and stronger margins for agencies.

Garage is reimagining how America’s essential equipment moves — from fire trucks to ambulances to public works vehicles. For decades, departments relied on Facebook groups, local auctions, and word of mouth to buy and sell six figure, mission critical equipment. It was slow, opaque, and risky. Garage changes that. By combining AI powered appraisals, secure payments, and integrated freight logistics, Garage delivers a modern, end to end marketplace where departments can move a truck in days instead of months and keep more funding in their communities. Built by former firefighter Martin Hunt and cofounder Alaz Sengul, Garage is helping departments across the country buy and sell with trust, transparency, and speed.

Fintary is solving one of the most critical and overlooked pain points in insurance: commission reconciliation and payment management. Most agencies and brokers still manage billions in commissions manually, receiving carrier statements in different formats and on different schedules, then matching them to complex payout structures with spreadsheets. This process often takes 40 to 80 hours per month, leads to errors and revenue leakage, and creates delays that damage producer trust. Fintary replaces all of that with a modern financial operations platform purpose-built for insurance. It automates reconciliation, streamlines payouts, flags anomalies, syncs with AMS and CRM systems, and gives producers real-time visibility into their earnings. Agencies reduce costs, improve retention, and unlock actionable insights into profitability by carrier, product, and agent.

Is fintech coming back? Check out Jeremy Jonker's perspective in Crunchbase News Today --> https://lnkd.in/gkNQTvsJ -- Jeremy Jonker, co-founder and managing partner at Infinity Ventures, agrees there’s definitely more energy in the market compared to the past couple of years.   “Rounds are getting aggressively preempted, M&A seems to be picking up, and IPO chatter is back,” he said. “However, this rebound appears selective as the companies getting rewarded now tend to be the ones with strong fundamentals. The growth‑at‑all‑costs era has faded. …The bar remains very high.”   For its part, Infinity Ventures is focused on areas where it believes startups are positioned to out-execute and take share from incumbents and later-stage companies. Agentic workflows in regulated industries are a good example, Jonker said.   “We’re less interested in generic LLM wrappers that are relying solely on distribution or abstract use cases that never make it into real workflows,” he said.   In general, Jonker believes that AI has become foundational in fintech, and not just a feature.   “We’re seeing it used to automate dense, rules-based workflows in regulated industries, power agentic systems that can trigger actions without human input, and unlock new ways to serve customers with fewer resources,” he told Crunchbase News. “The hype cycle is still noisy, but the real impact is happening where AI is embedded deep in the workflow, tied to proprietary data, and driving tangible productivity gains.”
