InsurTech Impact 25 member update: Q1 2022
March 29, 2022
Welcome to our first InsurTech Impact 25 member update of 2022, focusing on the notable achievements of our members over the last quarter.
When we launched the report in 2018, our clients were excited to hear about the different business models emerging around the market. Over the years, InsurTech business models have converged around a few themes, and the variation between businesses is becoming less. Arguably nowadays the interesting story is not so much the ‘next 25’ InsurTechs but analysis of the ones that are making waves. Therefore, we have decided to pause our InsurTech Impact 25 report series this year.
However, we intend to continue our coverage of InsurTech and Impact 25 Members via these quarterly updates. We are proud of our selection track record over the last four Impact 25 reports. We picked unicorns like Bought By Many, Shift, Tractable, wefox and Zego in 2018 – long before they became unicorns – and mostly avoided companies that were hyped and have gone down in flames. Speaking to our contacts around the market, we genuinely believe that the Impact 25 is seen as a seal of quality. We are proud of what our members have and continue to achieve, as showcased in this newsletter.
