Partnerships between established insurance organizations and startups often begin with strong interest. The harder work comes when teams must evaluate strategic fit, establish ownership, move through diligence, and translate an opportunity into a working relationship. This Executive Roundtable will create space for a practical discussion about what both sides need to make those partnerships work.

The morning will focus on the decisions and working relationships behind successful startup partnerships.
