You can buy insurance on TikTok now?

That may be the most revealing insurtech headline of the week.

Liberty brought quoting into ChatGPT. ERGO NEXT brought coverage into TikTok Shop.

Insurance is moving closer to where people actually transact.

Claims leaders are under pressure to go agentic but speed without trust creates audit risk.

Grateful to Cameron Ventures for hosting David and Tony for an incredible few days last week in Napa with founders, investors, and operators across the ecosystem.

@quakeranalytics Our MGA Lab is currently open for the 2026 cohort.

An excellent opportunity for companies that want to build their very own MGA, or expand an existing product line.

Only 12 spots available in the program, closing July 10th.

Anyone wondering why VC's + Insurtech MGA's don't really mix... just send them this clip. Generalist VC's will never have the patience necessary to slowly build a profitable book of business (nor should they given their business model)

Some great Insurtech-focused VC's out there who get it though (@InsurTechNY, Markd, etc.)

David Gritz and Tony Lew joined the CCIA conference in Coeur d’Alene this week to discuss AI, insurance innovation, and why “wait and see” is becoming a dangerous strategy in the industry.

Beautiful setting. Smart conversations. Strong signals for where insurance is headed next.

Two Q1 reports: 95% of InsurTech funding went to AI companies. $1.63B raised. Median deal size doubled since 2021.

Reserv raised $125M. Cognizant bought Astreya for $600M. Fuse launched Mark.

Pilot season's over. This is deployment.

Insurance doesn’t have an AI problem.
It has a “pilot” problem.

Everyone has tested something.
Very few have scaled it.

The gap between demo and real workflow is where most teams stall. May 21 | 1PM ET, we're talking about that.

AI pilots rarely fail with a bang. Most just never make it to production.

We’re bringing together operators & builders to talk about why that happens, what teams keep getting wrong, and how to build automation that actually works at scale.

AI is everywhere in insurtech.

• Claims is heating up
• Underwriting ≠ being replaced
• B2B is winning
• Real traction > hype
