What are you looking for from this year鈥檚 InsurTech30 entrants?
听
In today鈥檚 digital age, data informs everything we do, and in the insurance industry this is no different.
As such, I鈥檇 like to see how leading InsurTech companies are harnessing data for their own and their customers鈥� benefit. I鈥檓 looking to see how this data informs their insights and enhances the products they provide to their own customers so they can deliver the best level of service possible.
This should go hand in hand with innovation, which is why I鈥檓 keeping an eye out for companies that have innovation and technology in their DNA. I鈥檒l be asking whether these companies tackle insurance-related problems that are faced by businesses in novel ways.
Do they actively demonstrate innovative ways of thinking? Do they offer new solutions to old problems? And I鈥檒l be seeing if utilising data informs their approach.

What advice would you give to companies wanting to stand out from the crowd?
听
To stand out from the crowd, I want to see companies that ensure their customers鈥� needs are at the heart of everything they do and have developed innovative products and services to meet them. These products and services should be bold, unique to their company, and they should help modernise the sector in a concrete and tangible way.
As such, I鈥檇 strongly advise entrants to showcase their innovative products and solutions via engaging use cases. These use cases should demonstrate what makes their services unique and what market gap they fill. They should highlight the issues many face, and show how their products address and resolve them. Finally, they should show the impact that these solutions have had on businesses and on the wider insurance industry in general.
