Recent press on Digital MGAs has soured the mood for Venture Capitalists outside of the industry. Everyone is concerned about how the public markets will impact earlier stage funding rounds and the viability of the next crop of Digital MGAs. But the full story remains unwritten.

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”
― William Shakespeare

So we are launching two insurtech accelerator programs in July to support InsurTechs.

1. Growth Stage Accelerator Program

The InsurTech NY Accelerator is back for the 3rd cohort. Our corporate member driven accelerator is supported by nine insurance carriers eager to work with growth stage startups. The insurtech accelerator program is designed to help Seed to Series B companies find pilots and partnerships, acquire talent, and access investors.

Results speak for themselves. Over 50% of past cohort members have received follow-on funding for a total of $364 million post program, originated 400+ prospective partner meetings, and reached 4 exits – IXN, Breathe Life, Tower IQ, and Verikai.
