War Stories Working with InsurTech Startup

War Stories Working with InsurTech Startup

Working with InsurTech startups has quickly become the mantra of insurance innovation leaders and forward-thinking business units. However, it goes without saying – how do you do it?

To overcome these hurdles, carriers and brokers often have to develop creative workarounds to be “startup-friendly.” The traditional bridge has been for an innovation group to manage a proof of concept or POC to introduce the startup into the organization. This POC process fails more than 75% of the time.

Hear war stories from InsurTechs and insurance carriers with experience working on these projects. The program will feature two panels. One panel will share stories from the startup perspective and one will have stories from the corporate perspective. Panelists from insurers and InsurTechs will discuss how to make it through the process and what happens after a successful POC.
