In this episode of the Nassau Reimagine Podcast, host Laura Dinan Haber speaks with Galen Shaffer and Brittany Clements about the shifting landscape of Insurtech and the forces driving its evolution. They examine today’s bifurcated funding environment, where mega-funds dominate and AI-focused startups attract significant capital, while early-stage companies face mounting challenges in raising funds and achieving strong valuations.
The conversation explores the growing influence of strategic investors, the critical role of a healthy exit environment, and why many AI initiatives in insurance are struggling to deliver measurable outcomes. The episode also highlights major macro trends— from tech-enabled services to demographic shifts — that are shaping the future of financial planning and life insurance. Together, the guests outline how collaboration among investors, startups, and carriers will unlock the next wave of insurance innovation.
