Vote for the 10th Startup in the 2026 Global InsurTech Startup Competition

Nine finalists are confirmed. One wildcard spot remains — and it’s decided by you.


Startup Competition

The 2026 InsurTech NY Startup Competition features ten startups pitching live on stage at the Spring Conference — March 30–31 at Pier 60, New York City. Nine finalists have already been selected from nearly 200 global applicants. The tenth spot is decided differently: by public vote.

A shortlist of wildcard candidates have been invited to submit a short video pitch. Every pitch goes live in the gallery below the moment it’s approved. The startup with the most votes by March 11th earns the final spot on stage.

What’s at Stake

The top 10 finalists pitch live in front of investors, carriers, brokers, and insurtech leaders at the InsurTech NY Spring Conference. The competition awards over $200,000 in in-kind prizes across two categories.

Investor Prize Value

Beyond the prizes, finalists gain direct access to the decision-makers and investors in the room — an audience built specifically for insurtech growth-stage companies.

How the Wildcard Works

Wildcard candidates were invited to submit a video pitch of under one minute. Pitches go live in the gallery immediately upon approval — the earlier a company submits, the earlier they can start collecting votes. Voting is open to the public, which means every company’s network, customers, and community have a say in who makes it to the stage.

Voting closes on:

March 11th, 2026

The wildcard winner will be announced shortly after voting closes and will join the nine confirmed finalists competing at the Spring Conference on March 30–31.
