Pulse 2.0 covered Polygrade’s emergence from stealth on October 6, 2026, in a piece by Amit Chowdhry.
The article covers how Polygrade uses specialized AI agents across the warranty claims lifecycle rather than simply recording information or routing tasks, and how those agents work within each warranty company’s own policies and thresholds, escalating exceptions to people.
It also introduces the founding team, David Steckel, Eui Chung and Kaustubh Vongole, and explains how Polygrade will use its $6.3 million in funding to grow its forward deployed engineering, go-to-market and partner enablement teams.
