InsurTech Israel

What InsurTech Israel does

InsurTech Israel is a privately held ecosystem facilitator founded in 2017 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, operating across four integrated pillars to connect Israeli InsurTech startups with international insurance markets. Its activities include an investment syndicate (InsurTech Israel Investments) that has backed four startups to date, the Israeli Insurtech Accelerator which has graduated 8+ cohorts with international mentorship, fee-based consulting services for global insurers and Israeli startups, and a media arm (InsurTech Israel News) providing thought leadership and content marketing. The company is led by CEO Kobi Bendelak and operates with 1-10 employees.

The underlying platform is not a proprietary technology product but rather a curated network combining deal flow, mentorship, regulatory introductions (including connections to EIOPA and BAF), and global outreach through delegations, roadshows, and conferences across US, UK, EU, Africa, and Asia. Revenue mechanics span professional services fees for consulting engagements, accelerator program fees or equity stakes, and investment returns from portfolio companies. The company self-positions as 'the leading and most active company in the Israeli InsurTech ecosystem,' serving international insurers, reinsurers, and Israeli startups seeking market access, funding, and innovation partnerships.

The business model is relationship-driven and enterprise-focused, with a sales-led GTM that facilitates Proof of Concepts, startup scouting, and regulatory navigation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Geographic reach is global with primary operations in Israel, and the company maintains offices in the Sarona Azrieli Tower in Tel Aviv. Key competitive advantages include a comprehensive four-pillar ecosystem, an established network connecting startups with regulators and insurers, and exclusive accelerator partnerships that introduce portfolio startups to leading international players and investors.
