'Technology, Remote working, the 3rd Wave of Insurtech' : An Interview with David Fontain, CEO and Founder of Foresight

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast where this week we are lucky enough to be joined by David Fontain, CEO and Founder of Foresight, the insurtech start up on a mission to improve safety and lower rates by providing smarter workers compensation insurance. 

We had a great conversation this week where we discussed a wide range of topics such as:

• Creating a better incentive for businesses to improve their workplace safety
• What specific USP does Foresight’s technology give to the workers comp market?
• Why is the middle market underserved?
• Why opt for the traditional broker distribution channel?
• The greater the complexity of risk the more value the brokers can add
• Why did the first-wave insurtechs move away from that avenue?
• Delivering value to policy holders
• Enabling long term business sustainability
• Without insurance there is no business
• How having a background in brokerage allows insight into the main pain points that the consumer faces
• Launching just before the pandemic and how this impacted the fully remote working model
• Hybrid working model and satellite offices
• What’s your take on the investment market right now?
• Diversification of what insurtech looks like
• How do you make a remote culture work for you?
• Bringing people onboard from incumbent carriers and encouraging the tech ethos
• What is the next leap forward for insurtech?
