I have always had a soft spot for ICE InsureTech. Here are some reasons why:- 1. They have Industry Award winning PAS and Claims solutions, which tick all the technical boxes re:- - Cloud native - Low code/no code - A library of dynamic Open Business API's. etc. 2. A fully referenceable customer base, with proven delivery capability in B2B, B2B2C and B2C distribution channels for Personal Lines, including delivering against the quirkiness of electronic trading for the UK and Ireland. As I have seen over many years, many suppliers often bracket EDI as an 'integration project' and really don't understand the intricacies associated with Polaris and Insecom standards. 3. A highly experienced and credible senior management team, which keeps a pulse on industry trends, specifically connected insurance, in which, arguably they could be seen as market leaders. They just quietly deliver, on time and in budget. I have no personal commercial interest in promoting ICE InsureTech but thought in this very noisy world of #Insuretech, it might be helpful creating awareness in my network.

📣 We are excited to share that Federato has raised a total of $80 million to date, including today’s $40M Series C funding round: https://lnkd.in/g-b2zbpX Thousands of underwriters are using Federato’s RiskOps platform to win the right deals, faster. From the moment a submission hits an underwriter’s email or portal, RiskOps puts AI to work, triaging submissions with a focus on high-appetite business, delivering real-time feedback on the portfolio, and consolidating workflows into a single proven system. 💪 We see this financing as a milestone of our continued progress, not an achievement in and of itself. The real achievement is the value we are creating each and every day for our customers, and the thousands more underwriters who will join the RiskOps movement in the years to come. We’re thrilled to now be directly partnered with Stepstone Group, who led this financing, with participation from all our existing investors Emergence Capital, Caffeinated Capital and Pear VC.  Learn more about what this means for Federato’s next chapter as we bring more insurers into the AI era: https://lnkd.in/g-b2zbpX
