      It is easy to get lost in the many complexities of starting an insurtech. The challenges are everywhere with domain knowledge, guidance and unbiased advice difficult to find. It can be a very lonely place. InsurTech NY gives smart and motivated founders a lot of valuable information on ‘how’ to get from Idea… to partnership… to pilot… to cap raise. The founders of InsurTech NY and their panelists understand both the challenges and opportunities you will face and work hard to create an environment that is full of support and guidance.
