Trends Watch: Investing in Early-Stage Insurance Companies

EisnerAmper’s Trends Watch is a weekly entry to our Alternative Investments Intelligence blog, featuring the views and insights of executives from alternative investment firms. If you’re interested in being featured, please contact Elana Margulies-Snyderman.  

This week, Elana talks with Tony Lew, General Partner, InsurTech Fund. 

What is your outlook for investing in early-stage insurance companies?

We are bullish. Insurance is quite far behind in terms of technology, and this is where the latest early-stage insurance companies and software companies can help the industry get to the next level.

Where do you see the greatest opportunities and why?

 We like anything distribution related, and also data/artificial intelligence (AI) technology that helps with underwriting and claims.

What are the greatest challenges you face and why?

Too many things to do, and not enough time and energy to do them.

What keeps you up at night?

Ensuring we keep our limited partners (LPs) and other customers happy.
