“In this edition of the Quarterly InsurTech Briefing, we look at event-based, or “parametric,” insurance offerings and ask ourselves whether event-driven cover is just a niche product or a Trojan horse that can simplify and fundamentally change the industry.
Start-Up Company Profiles, featuring FloodFlash and Jumpstart, explores how a handful of new entrants are taking unique approaches to incorporate technology in order to address inefficiencies or coverage gaps within the existing insurance ecosystem, and how they are also using data (third-party and proprietary), advanced sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities to develop a new paradigm of insurance offerings for the connected world.”
