InsurTech Association

What InsurTech Association does

The InsurTech Association (ITA) is a founder-led, membership-based nonprofit association founded in 2022 and headquartered in New York. It operates as a curated network facilitator for the insurance technology ecosystem, connecting startups, carriers, brokers, MGAs, reinsurers, investors, regulators, and supporting service providers through year-round engagement rather than one-off events. The organization offers tiered memberships (Startup at $199/year, Industry at $999/year, Partner by inquiry, and Individual at $199/year) and a structured sponsorship program (Bronze $2,500, Silver $5,000, Gold $10,000 annually, plus per-event sponsorships at $1,500-$2,500).

ITA's core initiatives include the AI Regulation Initiative (delivered with the American InsurTech Council), the InsurTech Growth Network (IGN) connecting early-stage InsurTechs with accredited investors and family offices, Monthly Office Hours offering private 1:1 access to named insurance practitioners, and Jumpstart USA, a joint program with the Indian InsurTech Association supporting international market entry. It is not a technology product company; it has no proprietary platform, patents, or AI/ML systems of its own. Engagement is delivered through curated introductions, working groups, programming committees, webinars, virtual briefings, regional salon dinners, and in-person events such as ITC Vegas networking receptions.

Revenue is generated entirely from recurring annual membership dues, annual sponsorships, and per-event sponsorships, with founding sponsors (Eclaro, Insurtech Insight, DevStride, Coretech Insight, Direct Connection, MarshBerry) recognized permanently. The association is supported by a small core team of approximately 6 employees, including co-founders Bob Sargent and Joshua Hollander, volunteer Executive Director Douglas Ver Mulm, and association management lead Tiffanie Tran. Strategic partnerships with InsurTech NY, InsurTech Hartford, the Indian InsurTech Association, and AITC provide distribution into regional and international InsurTech communities.

Direct peers

• InsurTech Hartford: Regional InsurTech hub focused on the Hartford insurance corridor. Strategic ITA partner supporting Jumpstart USA and member onboarding for international companies entering the US market.
• Global Insurance Accelerator: InsurTech-focused accelerator and community based in Des Moines. Comparable mission connecting insurance carriers with early-stage InsurTech startups, including demo days and curated introductions.
• Indian InsurTech Association: International counterpart association co-developing the Jumpstart USA program with ITA. Represents the same InsurTech networking and advocacy model in a different geography.
• InsurTech NY: Regional InsurTech association that collaborates directly with ITA on events and Office Hours. Operates the Digital MGA Lab and serves the same startup/carrier/investor ecosystem in the US market.
• American InsurTech Council (AITC): Co-developer with ITA of the AI Regulation Initiative. Focused on regulatory advocacy for InsurTech in the US, sharing much of ITA's audience and overlapping mission around responsible AI in insurance.

Broad incumbents

• NAIFA (National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors): Long-standing insurance industry professional association. Represents the legacy model of insurance industry membership that ITA's startup-friendly, founder-led approach differentiates against.
• InsurTech Connect (ITC): Premier global InsurTech conference organizer (ITC Vegas, ITC Asia). ITA participates via networking receptions at ITC Vegas, illustrating event-based rather than membership-based overlap with ITA's year-round model.

Emerging players

• Insurance Thought Leadership: Insurance industry media and content platform that overlaps with ITA's content marketing and AI/regulation editorial coverage. Competes for the same InsurTech audience attention.
