Insurtech pivot - stolen bikes to Insurance company? The LiiP with Meeri Rebane, Co-CEO, Inzmo

The Leadership in Insurance Podcast - Insurtech & Innovation

We talk often of pivots in the start-up world but I have yet to speak to someone that truly pivoted - often I would argue it's a deviation. Today I was lucky enough to sit down with Meeri Rebane, Co-CEO of Inzmo, an insurance provider born out of a motorbike tracking business.

In the ultimate example of listening to customer feedback, Meeri told me how the business was born from the feedback they got from their original business model - tracking stolen bikes.

In this episode we discuss:

• How to spot a gap in the market - listen to your customers
• The benefits of being an outsider - no pre-loaded restrictive attitude
• The importance of luck How supportive insurance companies can be?
• Time to build new products in Insurance can kill a new start-up! You need a plan!
• How owning the customer experience is key to success
• Benefits of the MGA model in product design and testing product
• Why Inzmo moved to Berlin - talent. market size and investability (if that's a word?)
• Why go B2B2C?
• Talent challenges of Berlin - how to attract talent to a start-up?
• Gamification of Insurance - can we make insurance as fun as other financial services?
• Why can't we make money in certain lines of business - we need to challenge the status quo!
• Marketing and advertising in personal lines - how to surpass that
• The importance of strong partnerships and maintaining relationships
• How to spot applicable trends in Insurance in a pandemic world

Thank you Meeri for being a great guest
