You might think the sky is falling in FL and CA as a homeowner.

• AAA stopped renewing packaged policies in FL
• AIG is limiting insurance in coastal FL
• Allstate stopped writing business in CA
• Farmers stopped writing homes in FL and limited coverage in CA
• Nationwide is making it harder to obtain coverage in 36 states
• State Farm stopped writing homeowners in CA

That means at least 22% of insurance capacity is no longer available in California. Additionally, Flordia’s Citizens Insurance, the insurer of last resort, now has 2 million policyholders. That is nearly double the 2022 total policyholder count. The Home insurance limitations in Florida and California are affecting potential policyholders.

The question remains: do you want to be part of the problem or part of the solution? Collectively with the right focus, we can develop new insurance and loss control products to prevent, mitigate, and insure loss better, even in hard-hit areas.

If you would like to be part of the solution, we are looking for underwriters who want to mentor in the MGA Lab. The MGA lab supports startups to go from 0 to 1 and become a Digital MGA.
