Insurtech Amsterdam

What Insurtech Amsterdam does

Insurtech Amsterdam, legally Stichting Insurtech Amsterdam, is a Dutch not-for-profit foundation established in 2018 that operates as a community connector for the Dutch insurance and technology ecosystems. Founded by Venesha Brooks and registered in Rotterdam, the organization serves insurance incumbents, MGAs, brokers, insurtech startups, technology providers, and investors through a community platform that links more than 20,000 professionals. Its offering comprises five components: a community platform website, a blog covering insurtech trends, the Insurtech Magazine (Insurtech Digest), an events service hosting meetups, pitch events, webinars, and partner conferences, and a paid membership program.

The organization does not build proprietary technology products; its platform is a digital connector (website, community portal, newsletter) rather than a software product. Revenue is generated through two mechanisms: annual membership subscriptions starting at €500 per year, scaled by organization size, and customized sponsorship packages offered to partners such as Markel, FRISS, Novulo, Barbon, Virtuleap, and Beakwise. Hosting partnerships with Nationale Nederlanden (NN Group) and promotional partnerships with Insurtech Insights Europe and the Insurance Transformation Summit provide additional event-driven distribution and credibility.

The go-to-market model is community-led and event-driven, with marketing concentrated on content (blog, magazine, newsletter), social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram), and recurring events. The customer base is intentionally broad across segments, with no single dominant revenue source published. Geographic focus is the Netherlands, with stated ambitions for national and international expansion as a leading insurtech hub.

Direct peers

• Insurtech UK: National membership community for the UK insurtech sector, organizing events, working groups, and member services for insurers, brokers, startups, and investors. Closely analogous business model (community + events + membership) and a useful template for Insurtech Amsterdam's international ambitions.
• InsurTech Hartford: Regional insurtech community organization based in Hartford, Connecticut, running events, content, and member programs for the US insurance hub. Same community-and-events model as Insurtech Amsterdam, applied in a different insurance cluster.
• InsurTech Connect (ITC): Global insurtech conference and ecosystem brand (ITC Las Vegas, ITC Europe). Comparable as an insurtech ecosystem connector and event-driven community; Insurtech Amsterdam cites ITC Europe events directly, indicating close community overlap.
• Insurtech Insights: Operator of Europe's largest insurtech conference and a global insurtech media/community platform. Directly comparable in mission (connecting insurtech ecosystem), with a much larger event footprint and an explicit media-partner relationship with Insurtech Amsterdam.
• Plug and Play Insurtech: Global innovation platform and accelerator running an Insurtech vertical with corporate partners, startup cohorts, and pitch events. Comparable in connecting insurers, startups, and investors through structured programming, though with a venture/accelerator lens.
• Digital Insurance Agenda (DIA): Amsterdam-headquartered insurtech community and conference organizer hosting DIA Barcelona and DIA Munich. Comparable mission and overlapping Dutch/European ecosystem footprint, representing both a peer and a local collaborator/competitor for Insurtech Amsterdam's audience.
• InsurTechNY: US-based regional insurtech community running meetups, networking events, and content for the New York insurance and insurtech ecosystem. Direct peer operating the same playbook (community + events) in a different geography, useful comparable for growth trajectory.
• Insurance Transformation Summit: Insurance industry transformation event held at ExCeL London. An explicit media partner of Insurtech Amsterdam, providing a directly comparable large-conference platform in the insurance innovation space.

Others

• FRISS: Insurtech vendor providing fraud, risk, and compliance detection software for insurers. Both a member/sponsor of Insurtech Amsterdam and a vendor serving the same buyer audience, making it an adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a direct community competitor.
• NN Group: Major Dutch insurance and asset management group that is both a strategic partner (hosting pitch events) and a participating incumbent member of the Insurtech Amsterdam ecosystem. Relevant as a downstream corporate buyer/sponsor and as a peer at the insurance-incumbent-end of the value chain.
