This fireside chat dives into the story behind one of the biggest insurtech raises of 2025, a $65M Series C, and what it signals about the growing opportunity in the $100B E+S market. We’ll explore how a startup moved fast to break into a space that’s traditionally tough to access, the innovation that set them apart, and why investors didn’t just come on board but came back for more. It’s also a chance to reflect on how the insurtech investment landscape has shifted since the early Insurtech 1.0 days, and what still matters when building for scale.
