With InsurTech funding reaching a new record in 2021, $15.4B (CB Insights), the sources of investment have diversified. One of the most important source so far is corporate venture capital (CVC) from insurers. Carriers have been LPs in venture funds since the inception of venture, but now there are more than 40 active CVCs.

For an Insurance Carrier, corporate venture capital can provide more than just financial returns.

John Grogan, CIO at Northwestern Mutual, shared on the Future of Insurance podcast, “The real beauty of the venture investing work that we’ve done is that it gives us insights into these emerging trends . . . and it has opened the door to a whole host of strategic partnerships . . . .”
