ready to get a big leap and shift with the adoption of technology, to improve

revolutionize the sector.

efficiency from the current insurance industry model.

best practices to mitigate them and reap rewards, like: getting full
customer approval to use their data, hiring tech-savvy compliance teams,
and prioritize customer education about the product. Startups, meanwhile,
