2021 InsurTech funding grew with a vengeance over 2020 levels, with more funding raised by Q2 than in the full prior year. One reading the data might assume finding capital got easier than ever.

But digging deeper into the numbers, we see that a large proportion of that funding was in later-stage rounds for larger players. These mega-deals of over 100M made up 2/3 of the funding in the first half of the year alone, meaning early-stage funding may not be as buoyant as the topline figure suggests. And without a healthy early-stage pipeline, we will not have those late-stage companies to fund in the future.

That’s why accelerators and early-stage-focused programs are so critical to keeping the energy and momentum going in InsurTech, and why InsurTech NY is hosting our third annual Global InsurTech Competition with a specific focus on early-stage companies.

If you’re an early-stage InsurTech, you can compete for awards totaling 200K in value and share your idea with over 400 leading investors, influencers and advisors in the InsurTech space. If you are not an InsurTech, you can root for your favorite founder teams.

InsurTech NY 2022 Competition

InsurTech Carriers the Next Dotcom? Find out at InsurTech Spring Conference

Digital First InsurTech Carriers are struggling. Root is down from 20 a share to less than 2. Lemonade, once considered a meme stock, is below its public offering. With the carnage in the public markets for InsurTech Carriers, founders and legacy carrier leaders need to do some soul searching.

Is an exclusively digital first agenda the right way to build an insurer of the future?

Hear from the CEO of CSAA, Tom Troy, and QBE CTO, Kean Pandit, how insurers and InsurTechs should balance a customer first and digital first agenda on March 7th in NYC.
