Advisory for insurtechs and insurance companies

Jamie advises insurtechs, MGUs, MGAs, and carriers on building, pricing, and distributing insurance products, with a focus on digital deployment and modernization. He also helps build new products from the ground up and modernize existing policy forms. It is practical help from someone who has done the work on the carrier side and the distribution side.

How an engagement works

  1. A first conversation

    What you are building, where you are stuck, and what a good outcome looks like.

  2. A written scope

    Clear deliverables, timing, and fees before any work starts.

  3. The work

    Hands on help, straight answers, and introductions where they move things forward.

Advisory questions

Who do you advise?

Insurtechs, MGUs, MGAs and program administrators, insurance companies, and businesses that want to add an insurance or warranty product to what they sell.

How are engagements structured?

It depends on the work. Some clients want a defined project with a written scope. Others want ongoing advisory time. We agree on the scope in writing before we start.

Can you help us find a carrier for a new program?

Often, yes. We help shape the program, prepare the submission, and make introductions. For MGUs and insurtechs, we look first to carriers that offer API enabled products, since those are the quickest to connect to.

Advisory services are not legal advice.
