BrokerTech Ventures, investor group and accelerator program, has chosen the 12 Insurtech startups to participate in the accelerator’s first cohort. The five-week curriculum program will begin March 2 in Des Moines.
The startups selected will gain access to engagement and distribution offerings through BrokerTech Ventures’ nine owners and partners. BrokerTech Ventures will also offer the cohort earlier insights into how technology can work within and positively impact the insurance industry.
