Trying to find your way around InsurTech companies and startups? We did the digging for you and categorized them in small groups, based on what they do and how they do it.
InsurTech is the combination of the words insurance and technology. That means it involves all the technology stacks involved in insurance apps, solutions, services, and other offerings.
