Analogies abound about animal spirits being the underlying driving force for market competition. Whether your sales team talks about “crushing the competition” or your investment team debates how long the “bull market” will last, we are driven to compete.

However, not all competition has to be zero-sum. Competition in sport has winners and losers, but all participants improve their health and wellness as a result of training.

That’s why we built our annual InsurTech competition. Although we have winners who were carefully selected by judges, our hope is the entire ecosystem of participants will have sharpened their business model and company prospects as a result of applying.

Notwithstanding, every competition does have winners. Over 120 applications were carefully deliberated on by more than 24 judges. Now, we are excited to announce the finalists in our global competition and Bermuda BDA selected sub-group.

Global Competition Finalists: Delos, Finaeo, Tide Foundation, Dockflow, Coverhero, Digisure, Claimspace, Loadsure, HealthyHealth, Startsure

Bermuda BDA Finalists: Coastal Risk, RemitRix, Safekeep
