InsTech - insurance & innovation with Matthew Grant & Robin Merttens

Tim Quayle, OneAdvent & Matt Jones, Cowbell: The plumbing and wiring for successful insurance businesses (257)


Listen Later

Launching a new insurance business is hard, particularly for those with limited experience in the complexities of a regulated market. OneAdvent can help. Joining Matthew this week are Tim Quayle, COO at OneAdvent and Matt Jones, Chief Strategy Officer at Cowbell, a cyber insurance company entering the UK market. We cover some of the important areas when launching an MGA - and proved that talking about insurance can even be quite fun. 

Topics covered include:

  • Core problems in launching insurance businesses and why “plumbers” are needed to fix them
  • What you need from a partner when entering a new market
  • The barriers to entry for cyber insurance businesses
  • How to stay flexible and why it is the key to success
  • What gives successful MGAs the “edge” in growing their business
  • In addition to hearing about Cowbell Cyber’s experience, we talk about other OneAdvent partners including OTT Risk and ARMD.

    You can contact this week's guests, Tim Quayle and Matt Jones, on Linkedin.
