In the first episode of our new podcast, Insurance Technology: Fact or Fiction, we explore the realities behind the headlines shaping the insurtech landscape. Our host Georgie Simister speaks with Hayley Budd, Innovation Class Lead at Apollo ibott, about what it really takes for new insurance ventures to succeed in the London market. From high failure rates to inflated expectations, the discussion offers a practical look at the realities of launching and scaling in this space.
Hayley unpacks the common pitfalls for early-stage insurtechs, emphasising the importance of solving real problems, aligning on values, and building sustainable products, not just chasing growth. She also shares what carriers are looking for in a partner, and why strong tech alone isn’t enough.
