Sondre Rasch has created not one but two separate companies as a
part of the Y Combinator incubator. His latest, SafetyWing, is
disrupting the insurance industry for nomads. Learn how.


Services like AirBnb and Uber have disrupted the age old
hospitality and transportation industries and vastly improved the
experience for nomads. The insurance however remains largely in
the stone ages in terms of usability, accessibility and alignment
of incentives. 


Sondre Rasch felt these pains intimately both from an employer
perspective as well as a nomad consumer perspective. He
encouraged colleagues to take up the torch and address the
deficiency but when nobody did, he took it on himself and started
SafetyWing. In this episode you'll learn about pitfalls of the
insurance industry, Sondre's entrepreneurial journey with Konsus
and SafetyWing, recommendations for aspiring YC applicants,
productivity advice for entrepreneurs and more. Enjoy!
