Core offering

Startupbootcamp InsurTech London runs a 3-month intensive accelerator program for early-stage insurance technology startups, part of the global Startupbootcamp network. Selected startups (typically 8-10 per cohort) receive mentorship from insurance industry experts, introductions to investors and corporate insurance partners, workspace, and structured programming covering product, leadership, finance, sales, and pitch preparation. In exchange for the 3-month program, Startupbootcamp takes an equity stake (typically 8%) in participating startups. The program culminates in a Demo Day / Impact Day pitch event. Corporate partners also engage through structured open innovation programs using the Corporate-Startup Collaboration (CSC) framework.
