3. Customer Problems
We believe that the most pressing problems in the insurance industry are around
the core product, and how it is sold, serviced and priced
▪ Anyone is the
same broad
postcode or
demographic
group gets the
same price
▪ Journey not
designed for
mobile
▪ Renewal is hard
fought negotiation
▪ Claims process
slow and manual
One Size Fits All Product Batch Based Pricing High Cost Structure Hard to Buy &
Manage
▪ Same T&Cs for a
50 year old in a 6
bed house, as for
a 22 year old
renter
▪ Manual processes
▪ Large and
inefficient spend
on systems, given
legacy
4. Market Size
