As the New Year dawns upon us, we can reflect and see that 2020 was a year of scarcity for Insurance companies, but was a year of abundance for InsurTech.

Insurance companies struggled with low-interest rates, business interruption lawsuits, economic uncertainty, and a hard market. Meanwhile, InsurTech startups discovered how to go public via SPACs (Clover Health and Metromile) and the traditional route (Root and Lemonade), were awarded unicorn valuations (DataRobot, Hippo, and Unqork), and continued to gain market traction even during economic uncertainty.

The big lesson from 2020 is that those who invested to position themselves for the future came out ahead. Life insurers positioned with automated underwriting keep selling policies. Property insurers with virtual claims processes kept their adjusters safe and adjustment expenses down. Risk managers with high safety ratings positioned themselves for a hard market.

At InsurTech NY, we decided to heed the lesson of 2020, by investing in the future. This week, we launched our Annual InsurTech Competition choosing to focus on the future, early-stage InsurTechs with under $250,000 in revenue.

If you know an InsurTech founder who is just getting started or wants to get discovered, please help us spread the word.
