Today's guest is one of the original poster children of the Insurtech movement and has been applying technology to solve insurance problems since long before the phrase insurtech was coined. Back when the first insurtech conferences were getting started he was a highly sought-after speaker. If you listen today you'll soon understand why. Chris Cheatham founded RiskGenius in 2012 and in 2020 that business was absorbed by fellow insurtech and online exchange Bold Penguin Very soon afterwards the enlarged Bold Penguin became part of the American Family Insurance group. Chris's story is one of entrepreneurship and a path into insurtech maturity. Unlike many in the first wave and many of the speakers at those early conferences, neither RiskGenius nor Bold Penguin made any claim to be insurance disruptors intent on revolution and disintermediation. Instead these businesses were industry partners, looking to remove friction and pain points, largely for existing insurance entities. As the tech funding climate cools it is their model that is the one gaining traction and adoption from some of the most traditional elements in the insurance value chain. Today's discussion is really valuable because it mirrors the growing maturity of the insurtech scene and shines lots of light on where things are heading in the short, medium and long term. Chris has been on a remarkable journey – and from this encounter I feel he's just getting started. No matter where you are sitting in the insurance value chain I think the next half hour will be a very valuable investment of your time. NOTES: Chris mentioned a cool electronic paper tablet called a reMarkable. It does indeed look really cool – any remaining paper junkies should have a look: https://remarkable.com LINKS We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo: https://www.advantagego.com/ We also thank this Episode's advertising supporter Oxbow Partners https://oxbowpartners.com

Chris Cheatham, Product Evangelist at Bold Penguin, shares clever insights on his journey from startup to acquisition. He founded RiskGenius as a means to revolutionize insurance policy reviews through AI. The company made big waves attracting the attention of Bold Penguin who then acquired it. Exits like these are considered success stories by many business leaders.Cheatham attributes his success to his ability to communicate with customers. In his view, It is vital to first identify your prospects and customers. Then you can identify their problems and what they like about your product, next you can innovate it. Then close the loop by translating all this feedback and executing it during product updates. The concept seems simple enough, but a lot of companies struggle with the execution.Among the factors that have led to Cheatham's success are his constant passion for research and his continued enthusiasm for studying new ways to innovate. He is driven by an insatiable thirst to become more efficient, which involves improving the use of technology. In an area like software and artificial intelligence, this kind of mindset is a big advantage.Cheatham attributes this tenacious passion to his devotion to research. This helps him to identify areas in which he can improve his superpower. He thinks every founder should realize their superpower and tap into it. He recommends that every founder should also have the metaphorical “kryptonite” that a superpower brings. It's imperative to identify this “kryptonite” and set up guardrails for it. This can come in the form of technology, a process, or more importantly, team members who can offset it.Startup founders looking for ideas to drive success into the ideal exit strategy will love Cheatham's insights and his experience.Book - Linchpin by Seth GodenSoftware - OmnifocusLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrischeatham/Website - https://www.boldpenguin.com/This episode is brought to you by Content Allies.Content Allies helps B2B tech companies launch revenue-generating podcasts.

Listen in to Chris Cheatham, Vice President Product, Insurance Intelligence of BOLD PENGUIN and Denise Garth, Chief Strategy Officer, Majesco, discuss changes in the insurance industry and opportunities to supercharge your data analysis efforts.

This episode features Chris Cheatham, VP of Product, Insurance Intelligence, Bold Penguin Guest Bio Chris Cheatham is the Vice President of Product at Bold Penguin, where he helps lead the Insurance Intelligence division.  He has been in this position since October 2020.  Bold Penguin is the world's largest commercial insurance exchange, where agents can quote and bind small businesses in record time. In 2020, Bold Penguin was responsible for over 1 million quote starts. Chris sits at the intersection of product and marketing, where he provides feedback and messaging between insurance professionals and Bold Penguin product development. In January 2021, Chris launched the Bold Penguin Agent Council to provide direct feedback between technical leadership and agents utilizing the Bold Penguin Terminal to quote and bind. Prior to Bold Penguin, Chris was the Co-Founder and CEO of RiskGenius, where he created insurance policy review software that has processed over a million insurance clauses with the aid of artificial intelligence. Bold Penguin acquired RiskGenius in October 2020. Before launching his technology business, Chris was an insurance attorney in Washington, D.C. for five years. Chris holds a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Kansas and a juris doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin.  Highlights from the Show Chris was struck by the need to understand what was and wasn't covered and what the language in a policy meant from his work as an attorney He sought to bring out what the most common, lowest denominator was across competing policies That was the intention of RiskGenius, and he raised $13 million and hired 30 people along the way to understand insurance coverage by using computers They needed to figure out what the problem was that they needed to solve They tried to do it all, but Chris would have started smaller and put on blinders if he was doing it again because of all the ideas coming at you Budget for his customer vanished for a year, and you can't survive that wait as a startup QBE came to him, having to understand all the wordings and coverage they had through the various acquisitions they had made to rationalize their policy forms Then the shifting focus on small business started to emerge, with more and more online quoting and binding activity That focus is why Bold Penguin has been so successful, and adding RiskGenius to their platform made sense in helping to identify the right coverage or help people select the right coverage One major hold back for the industry is carrier APIs, as many are too complex, limiting or hard to connect with It all comes back to the pipes (connecting different players in the ecosystem) This episode is brought to you by Medallia (Medallia.com), and the book series, The Future of Insurance: From Disruption to Evolution, by Bryan Falchuk (future-of-insurance.com).

In today’s episode of Agents Influence podcast, host Jason Cass interviews Chris Cheatham,  the CEO of Risk Genius. Chris talks about the importance of knowing your policy coverage, Covid-19 coverage concerns, litigations, and social inflation. Chris also shares what made them build the algorithm, and how Risk Genius can help with technology and automation. Episode Highlights: Jason Cass introduces guest Chris Cheatham. (1:01) Is Chris an Android or an iPhone user? (2:27) What was the last app that Chris downloaded? (2:35) Does Chris love to win or hate to lose?  (5:35) What does Chris attribute to his success, skill, or luck? (6:06) Chris shares his background story and the secret of his success. (8:22) Chris tells a story about the carrier who wants to use their software for policy review and checking. (13:49) Chris explains why they develop algorithms that understand General Liability policies. (18:29) Chris states that he was not necessarily an insurance expert when he started. (18:55) Chris shares that it took five years to figure out how they continuously add different lines of business for carriers. (19:26) Chris speaks about the greatest coverage crisis in the history of insurance. (20:53) Did anybody find out that there was actually COVID coverage? (21:56) Chris talks about social inflation.

(29:02) Chris says that some states are looking to create immunity for businesses that open up like nursing homes. (37:56) Chris states that policy checking will become even more vital going forward. (44:31)   3 Key Points: The idea of Risk Genius for developing the algorithms was if somebody would upload a policy, there would be a checklist of clauses they need to review. Chris has discovered a million use cases for their software, and how it can be valuable for the insurance industry. Chris thinks that brokers and agents will be having a lot of pressure in making sure they check their policies and advising the customers properly of what they have. Key Quotes: “I just try to be the nerdiest nerd of all nerds.”- Chris Cheatham “If you have the entire country shut down for pandemic insurance, insurance doesn't have the dollars to actually back that up.”- Chris Cheatham “Policy checking is going to become even more important going forward.”- Chris Cheatham   Resources Mentioned: Agency Intelligence Brainshare Reach out to Jason Cass LinkedIn - Chris Cheatham Risk Genius   Advertisements: Podium Lightspeed Voice Insurance Agent App  

In this episode, Mock Media and Who Knows with Brendan McClorey voice our full-fledged support of the Black Lives Matter Movement. In our eyes, this isn't complicated. Saying "Black Lives Matter" doesn't even come close to being a controversial statement. Treat human beings as human beings. Check yourself. Don't be a dick. As a 23-year-old white man, I can count on one hand the number of times that I've felt legitimately discriminated against based on things out of my control like the color of my skin. I am NOT a good resource for how to go about resolving issues like this. I am, however, not afraid to have difficult conversations that can help to shed some light on these issues. Hopefully, that's what this episode accomplishes. Enjoy the episode. Thanks for listening to Who Knows with Brendan McClorey! Follow on Instagram @brendanmcclorey and Twitter @bmcclorey

This year, attendance jumped to 3,800 - congratulations, guys, we look forward to next time. While there, Nigel caught up with Darin Reffitt, Vice President of Marketing at Splice Software, which combines art and science to create stronger customer connections. Nigel and Darin explore the rise of voice and speech-to-speech technologies and emotionally relevant customer messages. Next up, Nigel meets Quentin Colmant, co-Founder of Qover, providing real-time insurance via open APIs. We hear how their solution allows customers to start selling insurance in five minutes. Nigel also talks to Tim Hardcastle, CEO of Instanda, a platform for insurance providers to improve product delivery. Tim talks about the lessons he’s learnt, through the dotcom boom to starting Instanda in 2012, and how the established insurers are responding to insurtech start-ups. Plus, is insurance really no different from any other consumer market? We hear from Chris Cheatham, founder and CEO of Risk Genius, whose mission is to organise the world’s insurance policy information. Chris tells us why the insurance world doesn’t really know what’s in its insurance policies and how Risk Genius is tackling the problem. And finally, Nigel sits down with Caribou Honig, Chairman and cofounder of InsureTech Connect, and cofounder of QED Investors. Caribou explains why right now might just be the most exciting time to be in insurtech. We also ask: how can incumbents evolve and is the centre ground of insurtech shifting between Europe and the US? Enjoying InsurTech Insider?

Special Guests: Caribou Honig, Chris Cheatham, Darin Reffitt, Nigel Walsh, Quentin Colmant, and Tim Hardcastle.
