InsurTech NY

We're excited to see this partnership officially launch. Congratulations to the teams at Kayna Innovation, Kwant and Willis (WTW) on bringing KwantSure to market. It's especially rewarding for us because both Kayna and Kwant are part of the InsurTech Fund portfolio. Seeing portfolio companies collaborate to solve meaningful industry challenges is exactly the kind of ecosystem we're working to build. Wishing the teams continued success as KwantSure rolls out across the construction industry.

Auto books can move from stable to strained quickly. When claims costs rise, field documentation breaks down, workflows slow, or vendor oversight gets messy, the impact shows up across the book. Join InsurTech NY and Samsung Business USA for a practical webinar on what insurers can learn from auto claims under pressure, and how teams can improve outcomes in the office and in the field.

We are always proud to support and collaborate with our fellow insurtech associations and industry groups. There's a lot of exciting innovation coming out of India's pensions and and insurance sector. It was a pleasure collaborating with the India Insurtech Association and hosting the group in NYC. We're also grateful to Tarun Chopra for representing ITNY and the InsurTech Fund in the conversation. Good ideas don't stop with borders. We certainly look forward to the next opportunity to collaborate. Congratulations to IIA for the launch of their Global Initiative - big things to come! #insurtech #india #collaboration

"Don't start an MGA if you're broke." David Gritz doesn't sugarcoat it. Building an MGA takes more than a good idea. It takes capital, relationships, patience, and a willingness to play the long game. That's one of the reasons we created MGA Lab in the first place. To help founders understand what it really takes to build a successful MGA and connect them with the mentors, carriers, and partners who can help them get there. Thanks to the InsurTech Association (ITA) for the conversation and for highlighting one of the biggest realities facing MGA founders. We're looking forward to working with this year's cohort and continuing to support the next generation of insurance entrepreneurs.

Strange but true: this week’s insurance headlines mostly managed to function without leaning on AI as a personality trait. The biggest move? Zurich entering personal home cover through Honey Insurance. It was a more grounded week overall, with headlines spanning travel, seafarer protection, retirement administration, and embedded distribution. Honestly, kind of refreshing. Full roundup below.

Insurance is not short on new technology. It is short on clarity about what will actually create value. That is the crossroads. On April 5–6, 2027, the insurance innovation community will return to Pier 60 in New York City for the InsurTech NY Spring Conference. More than 1,200 attendees. 110+ speakers. Two days of practical conversations about what insurance adopts next, what it leaves behind, and how the industry moves forward without losing the trust it depends on. Super Early Bird tickets are currently 40% below the standard rate. This is the lowest price that will be available. Reserve your ticket: https://lnkd.in/g_REtZFk

Everyone's talking about AI. Not enough people are talking about the quality of the data that AI is being asked to work with. At our 2026 Spring Conference, Kunal Bargotra from Adlib shared a simple observation: before you can automate claims, you first have to make sense of the flood of emails, PDFs, photos, and other unstructured documents that arrive every day. If your inputs are messy, your AI outputs won't magically become reliable. It's a practical perspective that resonated with many of the insurance leaders in the room, and it's exactly the kind of conversation we aim to bring to the Spring Conference. Thanks again to Kunal and the ADLIB team for sharing their insights and for being great partners to the InsurTech NY community. 🎟️ Planning ahead? 2027 Spring Conference tickets are currently 40% off through mid-August—the lowest price they'll be offered. We'd love to see you there: https://lnkd.in/gw8KR2pY

Capital doesn't build ecosystems on its own. Relationships do. That's why we're pleased to be part of the newly launched Insurtech UK Investor Network, joining a group of investors committed to helping promising insurtechs scale. Congratulations as well to our Investment Principal, Sokhiba M., on joining the Insurtech UK Advisory Panel. Her role will help strengthen collaboration between investors, founders, and the broader UK insurtech community while building even stronger connections across international markets. Insurtech has never been confined by geography. The strongest ideas, founders, and partnerships increasingly span borders, and we're excited to continue working alongside organizations like Insurtech UK to support that momentum. Insurtech UK has also released a new Investment Guide for Insurtech Firms, offering practical advice and real-world fundraising insights from founders and investors. It's currently available to view publicly for a limited time before moving into member resources. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gf5aDr8m

€480M for Alan. That was the headline. The French health insurer raised at a €5.5B valuation, and it led a week that said a lot about where insurtech momentum still sits: with bigger platforms, broader product visions, and companies pushing further beyond the policy itself. PetGPT brought comparison into ChatGPT. Zinnia pushed annuity infrastructure further into partner workflows. Breeze, dodoAI, and Odie all added to the picture. Full roundup below.
