At Plug and Play, Andres has directed his passion for innovation towards P&C Insurtech. Helping some of the largest carriers and brokers navigate the technology ecosystem and bringing projects to life. Having participated in multiple investments, he focuses on creating value through infrastructure, optimization, and digitization. With a unique background in world-class restaurants as a former 3 Michelin star chef and having launched 2 startups, Andres brings a keen eye for detail, unquestionable creativity, and a passion for bringing projects from 0 to 1. Andres holds a master's degree in entrepreneurship by Uppsala University and a BSc in Gastronomic Sciences and Culinary Arts from Mondragon University. Graduating Cum Laude and top 5% percentile in both of them. Highlights from the Show Andres shares what Plug and Play does for startups. Beyond just investing, they run programs to help startups find commercial success, even if they aren't portfolio companies and without having to give up equity – both of which are critical to new companies trying to build their business in the insurance industry. AI is obviously a specific topic Plug and Play is looking at, whether that's at ITC or outside of it. Rather than going after the type of buzz generating solutions we hear about like Anthropic or OpenAI, they are specifically thinking about different layers of the tech stack. That includes the foundation layer, like one of their portfolio companies, Archetype, built the foundation for an IoT solution. Andres shared some tips for founders, the biggest one centering around Patience. The speed of change (and sales cycles) in insurance is very long, so you need to have the patience and runway to survive if you want to build something in the industry.

Wesley is CEO and Co-Founder of Sola Insurance based in Atlanta, GA. Wesley comes from a tech background and jumped into the insurance industry at a flood insurance startup where he was tasked with working on the data side with private and FEMA flood maps. Realizing this data was telling us exactly where the damage is, Wesley became obsessed with how data can be used to automatically trigger an insurance claim payout. Sola is starting with supplemental tornado coverage for homeowners but plans to expand into every type of natural disaster to help people cover their deductible and immediate expenses. Sola has already been approved in 15 states as the first ever admitted personal lines parametric product, is fully reinsured through Lloyd's of London, and has partnered with hundreds of insurance agencies across the Midwest and Southeast. Highlights from the Show Wesley came on the show in Season 5 to share more of Sola's story, so be sure to listen to that for more background They recently launched a Wind & Hail product that like a hybrid Parametric/Indemnity proiduct in that it is data-triggered, but has validation of the loss through on-site inspection Their product speaks directly to an issue many insurers and homeowners are facing where providing traditional coverage is no longer financially viable yet homeowners are struggling to afford even high-deductible offerings that leave them excessively exposed – and mortgage lenders aren't comfortable with the coverage gap being created Sola's Wind & Hail product is cheaper than the money most homeowners would save by increasing their Wind & Hail deductible if they live in a hail-prone area, meaning they can get back to more complete coverage while saving money over what that coverage would have cost otherwise This episode is brought to you by The Future of Insurance thought leadership series, available globally from Amazon in print, Kindle and Audible audiobook.

After ITC Vegas 2024, I had to do a quick recap of the themes that stood out to me, and what I took from it. Highlights from the Show The winner for most-talked about buzzword? AI, obviously The focus, however, was on AI for efficiency An AI-enabled data company talked about the difficulty they have talking about improving UW results, so they only talk about efficiency when meeting with carriers, or they lose the audience (even though they have proof of positive L/R impact) As an industry, I challenge all of us to actually push on the core of the business and not just go for the "easy" sell of efficiency This episode is brought to you by The Future of Insurance thought leadership series, available globally from Amazon in print, Kindle and Audible audiobook.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Jay Weintraub. If there is a term that describes Jay over the past 15 years are the words "event entrepreneur. Jay transformed his early digital marketing domain expertise into an industry-leading event shaper. Today, Jay's portfolio consists of: Blueprint (real estate tech), Manifest (logistics tech), Medicarians (age tech), and Cumulus (agri / food tech). He has delivered four exits, and his passion for thoughtfully connecting people – Connectiv – a portfolio of industry-defining events. While events are what the communities seek, Jay wants to serve unique experiences. He shares that success is not measured by the number of attendees or sponsors. Instead, the team at Connectiv judge ourselves by our impact on some of the world's largest, most complex, and necessary global industries. On this episode the pair discuss: Jay's main areas of interest post-InsureTech Connect, why industries? What purpose? How does Jay serve sectors by delivering highly engaging conference experience and meet face to face? What can we learn from cross-fertilizing learnings from attending other events from problem solving to collaboration. KEY TAKEAWAYS The beauty of an event is, oftentimes, you're trying to capture a movement, you're trying to find appoint in time where the world is changing and when that is. There's so much uncertainty. Simply face-timing with the right people can add an immense amount of value. Is the movement in InsureTech about new product, new ways to underwrite, different ways to do claims, was it back to customer service or engagement? It could be everything. The question is: Which one is right for you? If we can find ways to make things predictable and repeatable we can do more and more scale-ably. That's one of our goals. For a company like ours that convenes large scale events, the milestone is about how we touch more lives. For us, touch more lives is connecting more industries in the same way. There's almost always some company that touches multiple verticals. No one wants to be first, everyone wants to be first to be second. The hardest part about what we do is that, like everything else, scale matters. It's really hard to get to a 7,000-10,000 person show starting off at a 300-500 person show. What makes the challenge is that everyone thinks it's super scalable (like tech), in our type of business it's not just about raising a ton of money, getting the biggest sales team with the biggest funnel, it's not a single widget that you can scale across an infinitely large team. It's about the one-on-one connections which is more akin to scouting, venturing or startup roles, there a lot of not-so-glamourous work: research and figuring out who's is relevant. BEST MOMENTS ‘One of the magic things about insurance is that it's impossible to name something that insurance doesn't touch.'‘We're trying to get more connected as a whole.'‘Data itself is a commodity, you can buy a list of companies. But you're not going to advance your company by buying that big list and trying to mail that big list. The only way you're going to do it is by asking: “Is this person relevant?” It's the personal outreach and understanding your goal.'‘Who do you want to be? Sometimes you have to accept you can't be everything to everyone. The best companies do this, especially in insurance, there isn't anyone who's number one in every line of business.' ABOUT THE GUEST Jay Weintraub: If there is a term called "event entrepreneur," that certainly best describes my last 15+ years. I transformed my early digital marketing domain expertise into an industry leading event. Four exits later, and my passion for thoughtful connecting forms the basis for Connectiv – a portfolio of industry defining events. While events are what the communities we serve experience, our success is not measured by the number of attendees or sponsors. Instead, we judge ourselves on the impact we make to some of the worlds largest, most complex, and necessary global industries. Today, our portfolio consists of Blueprint (real estate tech), Manifest (logistics tech), Medicarians (age tech), and Cumulus (agri/food tech). I have been fortunate enough to speak across the globe and am an investor in 60+ companies as well having been an advisor to a dozen more.
