What Insurtech NY does

Insurtech NY is a New York-based community organization founded in 2019 that operates as an international gateway connecting stakeholders in insurance innovation: carriers, brokers, startups, and investors. Its product portfolio is a suite of programs rather than a unified software platform: the annual InsurTech Spring Conference (1,100+ attendees, P&C and L&H tracks), the no-equity InsurTech Match accelerator for growth-stage startups, the MGA Lab for MGA formation and product launches, the Global InsurTech Startup Competition (150+ applicants, $200K+ prize pool), the InsurTech Fund (seed-to-Series A investments through convertible notes or equity), an executive roundtable and webinar series, the InsurTech Trails wilderness forum, the InsurTech News media platform, and NYC insurance startup maps. Underlying technology is primarily event programming infrastructure (Brella networking app for conference attendee matchmaking, F6S listings) combined with content publishing — Insurtech NY does not appear to operate proprietary software beyond community/media tooling.

Revenue mechanics are sponsorship-driven rather than product-licensed: carriers, brokers, and solution providers (Samsung Platinum, Trendtracker/BoundAI/Adlib/Upstage/Cresta/OutSystems Gold, Hyperexponential/Unitary/Convr/Federato/SOCOTRA Silver, etc.) pay tiered sponsorship packages for the Spring Conference and related events, complemented by indirect value from the free accelerator and MGA Lab (deal flow generation, sponsorship attractiveness), and investment returns from the InsurTech Fund's portfolio of 20+ insurtech companies. The organization runs lean with 1–10 employees headquartered at 895 Broadway, NYC, supplemented by an extensive network of mentors, judges, and partner organizations spanning 15+ cities and 3 continents. Customer segments include enterprise carriers and brokers (primary), growth-stage insurtech startups, digital MGAs, and VC/corporate investors, with go-to-market executed via field-driven enterprise sales for sponsorships and application-based onboarding for startup programs.

Revenue model

1. Event and Conference Sponsorships: Insurance carriers, brokers, insurtechs, and service providers pay to sponsor and exhibit at InsurTech NY events including the annual Spring Conference. Sponsorship tiers include Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Standard, providing brand visibility, speaking opportunities, expo floor access, and community engagement with insurance innovation leaders.
2. InsurTech Match Accelerator Program: Zero-cost, zero-equity accelerator for growth-stage insurtechs. Revenue is indirect — the program creates deal flow and visibility that supports the organization's broader ecosystem value and sponsorship attractiveness.
3. InsurTech Fund: The organization operates an investment fund (InsurTech Fund) that makes early-stage investments in insurtech companies via convertible notes or equity positions, targeting seed through Series A stages. Generates returns through portfolio exits.
