Whether to Incubate a Business or Not?

Travis Hedge (@the_hedgefund), co-founder of Vouch Insurance, and Nick Shalek (@nshalek), partner at Ribbit Capital, join Erik Torenberg and Lucas Bagno to discuss:

- How Vouch came to be and their vision to be insurance for the innovation economy from inception to IPO.

- What Travis and Nick are most excited about in insurtech.

- The enormity of the market and the fact that there are so few entrepreneurs with the ability to build in the space.

- How companies can grow the size of the market and why this has led to investors missing out on companies like Coalition.

- Requests for startups in the space, including opportunities in crypto.

- Why it’s never too early to have a board if you’re building in insurtech, even if it’s a synthetic one.
