RECONNECTING WITH CUSTOMERS
“There are many InsurTech startups doing a great job out there!”
Model 1: Understand The
Problem at Hand
Today, many corporations interact with the start-up
community and do things they had never done before
1) Changing customer behaviors
2) Speed of digitization
3) Exploding product innovation
Why?
 No Red-Tape
 No Cubicle
 No suit
 Own schedule
 Autonomy
 Flexibility
“Many corporate leaders understand that
innovation comes from inside and
outside the walls of their
corporation. That’s why many big
companies want to engage with emerging
ones.”
