Since the beginning of the InsurTech wave in 2015, one theme has remained constant: “Distribution is King.”

The first InsurTech Startup Showcase in Silicon Valley at SVIA in 2015 featured Embroker (digital broker), Trov (embedded insurance), and Jumpstart (Earthquake focused MGA). In 2016, InsureTech Connect highlighted Lemonade’s CEO Daniel Schreiber as its keynote speaker.

The distribution thread continued as insurers like AXA, MunichRe, American Family, and SCOR developed labs and Corporate Venture groups to partner with and invest in evolving distribution models. American Family invested in Coverhound’s Series C. SCOR backed many of the rising stars including Branch and States Title. MunichRe incubated Tenzy, an internal project for embedded home insurance. And, AXA XL partnered with Slice to release an on-demand, cloud-based cyber insurance product.

Today, the Hudson Structured InsurTech Index (HPIX), which currently tracks 18 publicly traded InsurTechs, has become a bellwether for established InsurTechs. Of the 18 companies in the Index, 15 are primarily involved in distributing insurance.

To support the trend, InsurTech NY will be hosting an event focused on distribution on Oct 21. Learn about the evolution of distribution through marketplaces, internal innovations, cross-selling, and upgraded workflows. This event will take place in person in NYC and will be live streamed.
