From Engineer to insurtech Founder: Sivan Iram’s Journey with Flow Specialty
In this episode of Founders Journey, host Jeff Shi sits down with Sivan Iram, Co-Founder and CEO of Flow Specialty. From coding in his childhood bedroom in Israel to navigating the complexities of venture-backed growth in Silicon Valley, Sivan shares a detailed, candid look into his entrepreneurial journey. He talks through his transition from software engineering to business leadership, the genesis of Flow, and how he and his co-founders identified a gaping opportunity in the wholesale and specialty commercial insurance market.
Sivan dives into the highs and lows of fundraising—raising $20M across seed and Series A from top-tier VCs like Lightspeed Ventures and Munich Re Ventures—and what it was like getting the final yes call in his dad’s study. He also reveals why they pivoted from a tech-first platform model to an in-house wholesale brokerage, how they’re applying AI to transform quote-to-bind ratios, and why the future of insurtech lies in dynamic, fluid service experiences. If you're a founder, investor, or just fascinated by the intersection of insurance and technology, this episode delivers deep insights and raw storytelling.
