Global Startup Competition Finalists Announced!
With Super Tuesday behind us, we are now turning our focus to the competitive spirit within our industry.
More than 30 VC and carrier judges have deliberated and selected the top nine startup competition finalists for our Global InsurTech Competition. With 149 applications, our selection process is on par with Princeton University’s acceptance rate.
Top Startups: Anansi, FutureProof Technologies, Invive, Lukango, Qumis, Samos Insurance, Vecto, Vellum Insurance, and Wuuii.
For the last startup, we invite you to be a part of the process. The final startup (wildcard) will be selected by popular vote. Check out the startups given a wildcard opportunity, review their videos, and submit your vote by March 8th.
