Launching an insurtech partnership
This is not a new deal. Many an insurtech partnership has launched in recent years.
Allianz, Securian, and gener8tor collaborated to launch an insurance accelerator.
The accelerator programme will accept five start-ups annually for a period of three months.
Each chosen start-up will get $100,000 in cash along with office space. Besides, the selected start-up will also be able to avail gener8tor’s network of investors and mentors.
Securian Financial chairman, president and CEO Chris Hilger said: “We are in the midst of a complete digital and technical transformation at Securian Financial, and our investment in the accelerator will give us further opportunities to collaborate with and learn from entrepreneurs developing the next generation of technology that will reshape our industry.
“We also feel that this is a great economic development opportunity for the Twin Cities, as startups from all over the country will get to see first-hand why the Twin Cities is such a wonderful place to live and build a business.”
