Overview
Bevel builds free AI tools that help disaster survivors reconstruct personal-property inventories for insurance claims, and is expanding into licensed private-risk advisory and brokerage for high-net-worth homeowners under Bevel Advisors. CEO Adam Freed co-founded the company after the January 2025 Pacific Palisades fire destroyed his family’s home; CTO Aravindh Dorai built the first inventory tool within hours. Co-founders Wesley Gow and Jack Trent joined per the CEO seed letter. The company confirmed a $6 million seed raise in that letter; secondary coverage names Bessemer Venture Partners, Resolute Ventures, Shakti VC, and HNWI angels. The consumer site cites SOC 2 Type II certification.

Competitive landscape
Edge: Crisis-born trust and inventory AI attached to a brokerage motion in a retreating homeowners insurance market.
Bevel’s path depends on converting survivor trust into licensed brokerage density. Main risks are licensing speed and secondary-only investor disclosure.
-
Traditional HNWI brokerages direct
Human advisory without Bevel’s inventory AI wedge.
-
Insurtech MGAs adjacent
Often carrier-side vs broker/advisory.
Notable stories
- Freed’s family home of nearly 50 years in Pacific Palisades burned in the 2025 LA fires — the inventory problem sparked the product.
- Distinct from unrelated healthtech companies also named Bevel.
