Why is the middle market underserved? Why opt for the traditional broker distribution channel? The greater the complexity of risk the more value the brokers can add Why did the first-wave insurtechs move away from that avenue? Delivering value to policy holders Enabling long term business sustainability Without insurance there is no business How having a background in brokerage allows insight into the main pain points that the consumer faces Launching just before the pandemic and how this impacted the fully remote working model Hybrid working model and satellite offices What’s your take on the investment market right now? Diversification of what insurtech looks like How do you make a remote culture work for you? Bringing people onboard from incumbent carriers and encouraging the tech ethos What is the next leap forward for insurtech?Thank you David for your time, it was great to speak to you!This Podcast was brought to you by FinPro, an executive recruitment business that works in the Insurance and Insurtech space.Our host in FinPro Director, Alex Bond Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed this podcast Hosted on Acast.
