Special Episode Richard Chattock and Stephen Brittain of Insurtech Gateway: To discontinue the old we must accelerate the new

Regular listeners will know that I really rate today’s guests and
what they are trying to do for the market. I also find them
really good company – they are fun, smart infectiously
enthusiastic and are always brimming with new ideas. Every time I
have a meeting with them I come away with something new to think
about. Listen on and you will too. The Insurtech Gateway has been
a pioneer in the insurtech space, providing early stage
investment as well as licences, insurance knowledge and industry
support and connections to entrepreneurs trying to put innovative
insurance ideas into practice. It’s just come through an
important milestone. Its inaugural fund is maturing and it second
fund has now been raised. In a cooling tech investment climate
this as clear a validation of the Gateway’s business model as
you’ll need. My conversation with director and co-founder Stephen
Brittain (bottom right) and CEO Richard Chattock (top right) is
valuable because it brings together everything the Gateway has
learned from the cutting edge of insurance investment from the
past six years. None of this is theoretical – this is all
hard-won experience earned by the risking of real capital in the
real world with real people. We examine what has worked and what
hasn’t and look at the emerging trends that are going to drive
the successful insurtechs of the future. Richard and Stephen make
a great pairing. Stephen has been on the podcast many times
before but Richard hasn’t. Yet it is Richard who will be familiar
to many listeners as he is an insurance lifer with a high profile
and long and successful underwriting career who has made the move
to venture capitalism. Meanwhile Stephen is an outside innovator
looking inwards to insurance. This is an excellent combination
and makes for a really relaxed, highly enjoyable and insightful
listen. I’m pretty sure you’ll find it both inspiring and useful.
