Great article by ANZIIF with one of our co-founders Colleen MacCarthy. “From the outset, our goal was to reinvent the back office administrative process of the insurance sector. ” MacCarthy says. "We have continued to grow and enhance our offering, delivering more capability in this area.” Today, Grappler’s software provides greater visibility for all areas of its customers' businesses, including finance, underwriting, claims and operations. “Our aim for Grappler is to become the financial system of choice for management of cash in all companies that are processing insurance premiums. Our powerful dashboards, analytics, and reports are helping to transform finance departments in the insurance sector around the world," MacCarthy says.

USA sprint is a wrap 🤩 Thank you Megan Kuczynski, Kristoffer Lundberg and team Insurtech Insights for the invite and congrats on a successful event! This is my first time to the NYC show and I really enjoyed it, definitely worth the painful flight! 😅 NYC fantastic trip with so many impactful conversations. I really enjoyed our awesome panel on amplifying outcomes via distribution partnerships. Global insurer, insurtech, and American insurer made it as super well rounded and fun discussion. The key takeaways were: 📣 Communication between partners is the key to build trust and avoid drift. It was repeatedly highlighted as a key ingredient. The way that it can be done is through establishing regular cadence and also making sure to meet and maintain curiosity about priorities for the partner. 🏎️ Start building - sometimes it’s best to skip the PoC that will be thrown away, and rather just build together for the first month. This will be a most realistic litmus test for cultural and priority fit. 😵 Expect ups and downs, as with any relationship, successful partnerships are not the perfect ones but rather the ones that effectively overcome challenges together. #insurtech #insurance #insurtechinsights InsurTech Asia Association

📈 Eir achieved three huge #milestones during the summer. 1️⃣ We are live in the #Netherlands 🇳🇱, #Finland 🇫🇮 and #Greece 🇬🇷! This means Eir now operates in 8 markets – having already set up business in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany and Spain. 2️⃣ We have grown our #premiums 90% over the past year, reaching well over half a billion SEK on a 12 month rolling basis! 3️⃣ We have, as a result, reached the most elusive of insurtech goals: #profitability! As of the month of June we posted a positive bottom-line result for the first time, and expect to produce ongoing profits. This is a gamechanger for us, and shows that our strategy is working. These incredible achievements wouldn't have been possible without the amazing Eir team. I'm truly grateful for your dedication and hard work, and I'm very excited about our ongoing projects both in these new markets and our existing ones. Earlier this week, I got a question around what drives our success. The answer in simple terms is #collaboration and the idea of a true #partnership: being successful together. So, I am grateful for the shared success with our partners, your trust in us and the collaboration we have together! From the very start, we chose not to focus on a direct-to-consumer strategy and instead decided to go on a mission to empower any business to offer insurance to their customers. Our partners have a closer relationship with their customers, and who better to handle the consumer outreach than those who know the customer best. This strategy allows us to focus on what we do best: co-developing innovative insurance solutions tailored to meet the demands of each partner and their customers. To the start-ups and entrepreneurs in my network: How do you approach your expansion and path-to-profitability? I’d love to hear your experiences and insights!
