John Bachmann

John Bachmann is Co-Founder of Mount (YC P26), the first full-stack insurer built for the AI agent economy, red-teaming and certifying AI agents to score operational risk and issue ADR certifications.
At just 18, John founded Horizonn, an AI-first media company in Switzerland that published 5 magazines and scaled to 400K in annual revenue, building everything from content production to advertiser sales from scratch.
John brings rare entrepreneurial intensity to a highly technical space, combining hands-on operator experience with a sharp instinct for emerging markets at the intersection of AI and insurance.
At Mount, John leads operations and growth, working alongside co-founder Fabian Amherd to build a proprietary risk data moat through AI agent evaluations that no traditional insurer can replicate.
Mount targets a market projected to grow from $7.6B to $183B by 2033, addressing a critical gap where over 90% of businesses want AI risk coverage but no incumbent insurer is built to price it.
