The cost of homeowners insurance, especially in natural catastrophe prone areas, has skyrocketed in recent years. Annex is solving this problem with better digital infrastructure for executing the transaction. Our platform enables insurance agents to quote and bind policies within 90 seconds vs. the current multi-day phone/email/fax-based transaction that is the status quo.

We grew 4x in 2025 and anticipate similar growth in 2026. We've done the above after deploying <$1.5m in funding. We have significant and growing momentum on both the insurance distribution and insurance capital sides of our business; our challenge now is scaling our engineering team to support that progress.

We're in that exciting early stage, where someone can contribute foundational new pieces to core parts of our platform.

This is especially true when working with third-party, legacy, or undocumented code. In the absence of documentation, your only way forward is to read the source code[0]. Find the main() of the simplest/smallest module in the system, and begin tracing through the code. This could be with a debugger, print statements, or the search functionality in your editor/IDE (Find Usages and Go to Declaration in Intellij are lifesavers).

2. Don't be afraid to break things apart.

If the simplest module in the system is overwhelmingly complex, start commenting out parts of the code. Go until you have effectively reduced it to "Hello, World", if you have to. From there, you can gradually add features back.

3. Constantly test your assumptions.

Don't assume comments do what they say they do.

Don't assume that config flag produces the behavior the documentation claims it does.

Do take inventory of you assumptions whenever the behavior of the system contradicts your current understanding of how it works.

You should be able to back up any claims about the system with empirical evidence e.g. when I change A to B, X happens; if I change A to C, Y happens.
