GiveSurance Investor Introduction - used for angel round funding and strategic partnerships in the founding of this new model for insurance marketing. Givesurance is a unique cause-marketing model in the insurance brokerage space.
Investor Deck: A New Cause Marketing Model for Insurance
1. We are disrupting insurance marketing with an almost
frictionless new model that upends the $4B+ spent by
insurance carriers on advertising annually
Plan Deck
01/2014 CONFIDENTIAL
2. We make it possible for people to support the
causes that matter to them, simply through their
choice of insurance provider.
At the same time, we are delivering a platform for
brokers empowering them to add Cause Marketing
as a channel for new business.
Most importantly, we are giving causes a vital,
sustained source of income - and we doing all this
by replacing an ad model that is largely reviled.

Practically everyone has insurance. It’s the definition of a saturated, mature market. To gain share, most carriers
pay 20% sales commissions on top of huge advertising and marketing costs. Carriers are fighting a war for market
share, largely with ad spend in a market perceived of as commodity by consumers.
This is a HUGE opportunity for a disruptive model.

Brokers are increasingly being displaced in an environment where carriers are able to use
the internet to give instant quotes and are aggressively implementing advertising-driven
direct sales models. Our model gives the broker a new business platform, allowing them
to engage new customers, and add value without cannibalizing their existing business.

We are effectively re-directing the funds used to persuade customers to switch carriers.
We give part of the Broker’s commission to the charity, and help the charities to do the
part the ads were doing - namely influencing buyer preferences.

Our co-brokerage approach will allow us to rapidly grow and support a network of
trained, experienced insurance professionals that can not only deliver a local
response but will in turn be able to engage their own charity support partnerships.
This is a model designed for rapid, national relatively frictionless growth.
