The Global Insurance Accelerator is a mentor-driven business accelerator designed to foster innovation in the insurance industry through startups targeting the global insurance industry.
We take in early-stage companies who are building solutions that support the insurance industry. We provide seed funding, networking with our mentors, a desk in our beautiful office in Des Moines, 100-days of on-site support and time on stage at the Global Insurance Symposium with hundreds industry executives in attendance.
This is not your typical accelerator. Our investors are insurance carriers, our mentors are primarily insurance executives. Startups participating in our program find product-market fit and do customer discovery faster than they could ever do at any other accelerator. We are a strategic partner.
-The Deal-
Investment with founder-friendly terms: $50k in the form of a post-money SAFE that converts to 5% of the company; no board seat
Curated meetings with 75+ insurance-focused mentors in program; dozens more after
Final presentations @ Global Insurance Symposium (~600 attendees in 2019)
Additional exposure at industry conferences
One-bedroom, residential-style suite at the Staybridge Suites, with amenities including daily breakfast, nightly dinner, gym, pool, and laundry (in-person nights / 2-minute walk from GIA)
Office space for your entire team
Typical accelerator perks (deals on hosting, marketing tools, etc)
Stocked fridge at the GIA office
Founders need to be in Des Moines during the program, business-related travel is supported
