Our take
Insurance companies have historically been slow to adopt digital transformation, oftentimes relying on fax and manual administration, so startups are cropping up all across the sector to make the purchase and administration of policies more streamlined and intuitive. Founder Shield is one of them, and is focusing on risk management insurance for fast-evolving VC-backed startups.
An important aspect of Founder Shield is its highly accommodating approach to risk management products. Companies working in emerging and lucrative sectors like crypto and cannabis frequently need novel policies to provide the best coverage, and Founder Shield has proven flexible and effective in building new products.
The insurtech sector itself is also a cash-flush one to be in currently. VC funding has risen steadily year over year, and is showing no sign of slowing. Whilst most large incumbents offer startup insurance, it’s Founder Shield’s ability to move away from the one-size-fits-all model that will help it siphon off fast-growth startup players as it moves to expand operations into the future.
