Microinsurance Master

What Microinsurance Master does

Microinsurance Master operates a domain-specific accelerator program for senior decision-makers in the global microinsurance industry. Founded in 2018 by Bert Opdebeeck and operated through the Belgian entity Thrive for Good Comm.V, the company is headquartered in Brussels and runs an annual 10-week program combining a 2-week immersive field placement at a host microinsurer with 3 months of online mentoring by industry practitioners, capped at 20 seats per cohort. The target buyers are CEOs and microinsurance champions from insurance companies, distribution intermediaries (MFIs, banks), regulators, insurtechs, and sector enablers across developing and emerging markets.

The core product is the Microinsurance Master Accelerator Programme, priced at USD 11,950 per participant, delivered through direct website applications and a selective admissions process. Supporting products include a 2-5 day Microinsurance Masterclass focused on Human Centred Design methodologies and bespoke In-house Programmes combining workshops, coaching, and consulting. The program does not rely on proprietary technology — delivery uses standard video conferencing tools, in-person workshops, and field visits — but instead leverages deep partnerships with anchor host organizations including Pioneer Insurance, APA Insurance, Britam Insurance, Seguros Universales, Aseguradora Rural, and ecosystem partners MicroInsurance Centre at Milliman and the Microinsurance Network. Revenue is generated through one-time participant program fees with limited payment-plan flexibility; the organization is privately held, founder-led, and self-sustaining without disclosed external investment.
