In previous podcasts we've spoken to founders from companies that have taken part in one of the three cohorts. For this episode Matthew

Platforms are emerging as one of this year's top topics for insurance and technology - and we are going to hear a lot more about them in the next year. Start-ups have been finding it hard to get the attention of insurers, and experience is showing that most insurers are not really set up to nurture early stage companies. Insurance technology platforms provide a way for insurers to more easily access data, analytics and the related services they need to improve efficiency and engagement - and for

The curse of "legacy" is often blamed for lack of innovation in established insurance companies - but is that really the problem? Instanda was founded 7 years ago and has proved it can successfully build new systems for insurers and work alongside, and with, legacy and still deploy its solutions quickly and relatively cheaply. With 40 companies drawn mostly from P & C, Instanda is now branching out in Life & Health. Trevor Davis joined Instanda last year from Swiss Re. In this episode he talks to

The finance teams in insurance companies often struggle as much as others when it comes to bringing together multiple sources of data, and identifying key business metrics. Improving efficiency is one of the foundations of the "Future of Lloyd's" strategy and the 3rd cohort in the Lloyd's Lab brings together scale-ups rather than start-ups. Phinsys, founded in 2010, was chosen because of its record in providing systems to speed up and improve reporting capabilities to leading insurers. In this
