Akur8, a global actuarial AI platform, has acquired Slope Software, a cloud-native actuarial modelling provider for life insurers and pension firms, expanding its capabilities into the life and annuity market.
The acquisition marks Akur8’s move beyond its core property and casualty offering, creating a broader platform serving actuaries across multiple insurance lines.
Slope Software’s platform, SLOPE, provides a fully hosted cash-flow modelling solution supporting projections across the policy lifecycle, including pricing, valuation, and forecasting.
Founded in 2015 and based in Atlanta, Slope Software serves tier-one life insurers, reinsurers, and consulting firms. Its cloud-native architecture, transparency, and auditability align with Akur8’s approach to modern actuarial tooling.
Following the acquisition, SLOPE will be integrated as Akur8 Life, combining both companies’ capabilities into a unified platform for multi-line carriers. Akur8 said the integration will accelerate product development through its research and development resources.
Samuel Falmagne, CEO, Akur8, said, “Slope Software has built an exceptional platform that transforms how life actuaries work, and their vision mirrors our own: empowering actuaries with modern, intuitive tools that eliminate legacy constraints. Bringing SLOPE into the Akur8 family expands our reach into life insurance, and together we’ll accelerate innovation and deliver even greater value to actuaries worldwide.”
Andy Smith, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Slope Software, said, “The benefits of joining Akur8 are so clear. Akur8’s vision and founder mindset are closely aligned with the one Taylor and I have for SLOPE, and with our combined resources we’re well positioned to deliver a best-in-class actuarial platform, making Akur8 the obvious choice for anyone seeking a modern, flexible, and powerful actuarial solution.”
Taylor Perkins, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Slope Software, said, “Joining forces with Akur8 gives us the resources and R&D capabilities to scale our vision faster than we ever could alone. Our customers will benefit from enhanced innovation, expanded capabilities, and the backing of a global leader in actuarial technology. This partnership ensures that life actuaries will continue to receive the cutting-edge tools they need to excel in an increasingly complex market.”
Akur8 said the deal supports its strategy to provide end-to-end actuarial solutions, extending AI-driven capabilities across both P&C and life insurance segments.
