SEATTLE, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The search is on for Trupanion’s next four-legged stars.

Trupanion (Nasdaq: TRUP), North America’s leading pet insurer, today announced the launch of its annual truFame contest, giving Trupanion members the chance to put their pets in the spotlight—and share the stories that make them so special.

truFame celebrates the cats and dogs who bring more joy, laughter, and love into our lives every day—from their silliest antics to the moments when we need them most. Ten winning pets will become the faces of Trupanion in 2027, appearing in marketing and community campaigns throughout the year.

“Every pet has a story, and truFame gives our members a simple way to show what makes their pet one of a kind,” said Margi Tooth, CEO and President of Trupanion. “What I enjoy most about this contest is that each photo highlights a bond worth protecting, and that’s at the heart of our mission.”

Last year, thousands of Trupanion members submitted their pets to truFame, generating over 30,000 votes from pet lovers across North America. This year, Trupanion expects to see even more unforgettable pets and stories take center stage.

How truFame Works

• Submit: Think your pet has what it takes to be a star? You’ve got 10 days to enter! Trupanion members can submit their pet’s photo and story from September 10 through September 20 at trufame.trupanion.com.
• Vote & Share: Once submissions close, it’s time to rally your friends and family! From September 24 through October 6 at 5:00 p.m. PDT, pet lovers can visit trufame.trupanion.com to vote for their favorite finalists—and share their pick with friends and family to encourage them to vote, too.
• Celebrate: Ten winning pets will be announced the week of October 12 and will become the faces of Trupanion in 2027.
• Terms and Conditions: Full contest details and eligibility requirements are available at truFame Terms and Conditions.

While truFame may start with a photo, the stories behind the pets are what make the contest special.

Last year’s winners included pets with stories of resilience, companionship, and unconditional love. Atlas, a Siberian Husky from Ontario, was among the 2025 winners after his family shared how Trupanion helped them navigate two emergency surgeries before he turned two.

“Without Trupanion, I truly don’t know how we could have managed–and the truth is, Atlas might not be here today,” Atlas’ owners wrote in their truFame submission. “He is truly the best dog. Trupanion didn’t just cover the bills–they gave us more time, more love, and more memories with our best friend.”

Stories like Atlas’ capture what truFame is ultimately about: celebrating the extraordinary bond between pets and their people.

“Seeing the pets our members love and the stories they share is one of my favorite parts of truFame,” added Tooth. “These cats and dogs are family. They bring us joy, comfort, and companionship, and they remind us every day why we’re here.”

• Integration with Takeoff, newly acquired by Sierra, tackles a major bottleneck in the $2 trillion mortgage industry, where less than half (49%) of home equity applications reach closing
• Combining Agent with Loan Officers yields a 143% lift in funded loan conversion
• First US integration for Sierra’s Horizon Platform that tackles revenue-generating, long-horizon tasks

NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. (“Figure,” Nasdaq: FIGR; OPEN: FGRS), the blockchain-native capital marketplace for the origination, funding, sale, and trading of tokenized assets, today announced a partnership with Sierra, the conversational AI platform co-founded by Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor.

The collaboration marks the first U.S. use of Sierra’s newly-established Horizon platform. Horizon enables businesses to build agents that expand beyond customer support functions to revenue-generating workflows through the ability to work for longer periods of time on complex tasks.

U.S. homeowners currently hold $35 trillion in home equity, yet complex documentation requirements often lead to excessive friction and application abandonment. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s 2025 Home Equity Lending Study, average closing pull-through for Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) was just 49% in 2024, with nationwide HELOC volume at $271 billion in 2025. Taking into account fees, interest and marketing costs, abandoned applications represent a major bottleneck for originators in the $2 trillion mortgage industry.

The Figure Agent is powered by Sierra’s Horizon platform and was trained by Figure to work natively in its Loan Origination System. The agent reaches out to stalled applicants via voice and SMS, operating autonomously over days. It progresses stagnated applicants and brings them closer to conversion by assisting borrowers through routine friction points such as credit check permissions, ID verification, and bank account linking, and then seamlessly transfers them to an Loan Officer (LO) to finalize the loan.

“Enterprise AI is increasingly moving beyond reactive, cost saving use cases to complex, revenue-generating opportunities that can deliver additional growth and help innovative companies differentiate themselves in highly competitive industries,” said Bret Taylor, Co-Founder of Sierra. “Accessing home equity is a complex, high-friction workflow that presents a perfect use case. Figure is a likeminded leader, bringing transformational technology and data transparency to capital markets, and we’re so proud to partner with them.”

Early results¹ demonstrate significant conversion gains:

• Stalled applicants who interacted with the Figure Agent progressed through individual friction stages at a 30-52% higher rate than those who didn’t.
• Borrowers who engaged with the Figure Agent, whether with or without Loan Officer assistance, funded 67% more loan volume.
• Combining the Figure Agent with Loan Officers yields a 143% lift in funded loan conversion when compared to Loan Officers operating alone.

Following success with its pilot, Figure plans to make the integration available to partners in its network over the coming months.

“The future of mortgage is human-agent synergy, and Sierra was the natural partner for Figure to harness that future to improve our partners’ revenue outcomes. The results we have seen, in particular the reduction in the industry scourge of abandonment, is a testament to the simplicity and automation of our marketplace. There is no other capital market that could offer the simple, deterministic training ground to an AI agent and get these incredible results,” added Michael Tannenbaum, Chief Executive Officer at Figure.

“We founded Takeoff in the belief that building deeply integrated solutions directly tied to business results is the future of enterprise software,” said Aakash Thumaty, Founder of Takeoff and GM of Horizon. “By bringing our long-horizon agent architecture with infinite patience to Sierra, and integrating natively into Figure, AI co-pilots are executing complex, multi-day financial tasks alongside human loan officers with unprecedented efficiency.”
