As AI and machine learning fuel massive growth, InsurTech is shaking up traditional insurance—here’s why it matters.
Hi,
Our whole 150 team is excited to share our first monthly deep dive report into the $350B Insurtech space!
The industry may be embracing AI, blockchain, and IoT, but not without growing pains 📉.
After peaking in 2021, InsurTech funding has dipped sharply, leaving many startups scrambling for solid business models.
Meanwhile, the race to digitize continues, with traditional insurers pushing hard to meet the demands of tech-savvy consumers.
Ready to learn who’s thriving and who’s falling behind? Let’s dive in.
Yours in service,

The insurance industry is undergoing a major transformation thanks to InsurTech.
What was once a sleepy business is now being reimagined by a wave of startups using technologies like AI, blockchain, and IoT to streamline processes and personalize services.
These innovations are turning underwriting, claims management, and customer service into faster, smarter, and more efficient systems.
It’s no surprise that the global InsurTech market is projected to skyrocket to a staggering $353.5 billion by 2033.
That’s a 36% annual growth rate, driven by insurers desperate to meet the demands of increasingly tech-savvy consumers.
After all, who wants to wait two weeks for a claim when they can get instant approvals?
Investment in InsurTech has seen its fair share of volatility.
Back in 2021, U.S. funding for the sector hit over $3.5 billion in a single quarter, thanks to a rush of enthusiasm for digital transformation.
Deals were flowing, and startups were thriving. Fast forward to 2023, and the landscape looks a little different.
Funding has dipped to $1.1 billion, with fewer deals being made as investors adopt a more cautious approach.
It turns out that hype only gets you so far; now, InsurTech startups need more than just buzzwords—they need solid business models to survive.
Still, the big names are holding strong. Companies like Wefox and ManyPets have raised hundreds of millions, with Wefox alone pulling in $650 million in 2023.
The unicorn club—those elite companies valued at over $1 billion—has grown steadily, though the pace has slowed since 2022. Currently, there are 40 InsurTech unicorns, but don’t expect that number to climb much higher without a major shift in market conditions.
So what’s next? Despite recent slowdowns, the long-term outlook for InsurTech remains bullish. As the industry continues to evolve, the companies that can adapt to tighter capital markets and deliver real value will thrive. The rest? Well, they may end up as cautionary tales in a sector that’s moving faster than ever.
In short, InsurTech isn’t just shaking up insurance—it’s rewriting the playbook entirely.
