Mapping 135+ insurance tech startups

Making moves

Hi there,

This week’s departure of AXA CEO Henri de Castries was the latest in a string of CEO changes at major European insurers including Prudential plc, Zurich, Old Mutual and Munich Re, which all announced new CEOs in the past year.

Insurance tech has also seen some big personnel moves. This week, we spotted a move at Lemonade, which hired Andrew Sinkov as VP of Marketing. Sinkov was previously VP of Brand at Evernote and, according to his Twitter bio, “Evernote user #6.”

As we highlight below, three other C-level hires occurred this week at insurance startups Metromile, BankBazaar, and Melody Health.

Who’s who

The insurance tech market has growing immensely in the past year and so we made a new map of 130+ startups and private companies in the insurance tech space across P2P models, life insurance, renters insurance & more. 

Synergies

There were a string of insurer-startup partnerships in the last week spanning across weather data, mortgage insurance and car-sharing. Read to the bottom of the newsletter for the details.

Hope you have a great rest of the week.
