Why Insurtech?
“Our Innovation Lab cohorts have dozens of late-stage startup founders who have raised 6 to 7 figure series A rounds. They’re designed to introduce you to as many corporates, investors, and network connections to help you secure as many deals as possible. We take time to curate the participants to optimize this goal. The goal of the Labs is not education or basic startup support. You should consider the Lab if you’d like to be showcased and connected to dozens of leading corporations and inventors in the Insurance Sector.”
