Frequently asked questions

How are providers selected for this directory?

Providers are selected based on InsurTech NY’s industry experience, community feedback, insurance-sector relevance and demonstrated ability to support emerging companies. The directory is curated rather than open-submission and does not rank the companies listed.

What resources do InsurTech startups need?

Common needs include startup and regulatory counsel, actuarial support, reinsurance, fronting, policy administration, claims, technology, recruiting and marketing.

When should an insurance startup hire regulatory counsel?

Regulatory counsel should generally be involved before the startup finalizes its operating model, carrier relationship, distribution roles, policy workflow or licensing assumptions. Early advice can prevent expensive restructuring later.

What should an MGA evaluate in a fronting carrier?

Important considerations include program appetite, geographic reach, admitted and surplus-lines capabilities, collateral, reinsurance structure, claims oversight, data requirements, service model, financial strength and experience supporting similar MGAs.

Should an InsurTech build or buy its policy administration system?

The answer depends on product complexity, differentiation, speed, internal engineering capacity, integration needs and long-term operating costs. Startups should compare the total cost and risk of configuration, customization, maintenance, migration and future product changes, not only the initial price.

Why should an InsurTech startup hire a claims TPA?

To do claims work you require specialized licensing in each state of operation. It is often not cost effective in most cases for a startup to take on this work.

InsurTech NY provides this directory for general informational purposes. Inclusion is not a guarantee of performance and does not replace independent legal, regulatory, actuarial, financial, technical or procurement advice. Organizations should conduct their own due diligence and disclose any commercial, referral or sponsorship relationships where applicable.
