    The Future of Insurance – More Sales Advice with Bryan Falchuk
    Feb 24 2026

    Episode Info

    On the back of getting some less-than-great sales outreach on LinkedIn, I thought it would be a great moment to share some more sales advice for startup founders and service or solution providers out there looking to sell into or partner with insurers.

    This is a follow up the episode I did in Season 7 on the subject, which you can check out at https://future-of-insurance.com/podcast/vendoradvice/.

    I'll also be taking a few weeks off from posting new episodes of the show, which makes a great chance for you to catch up on the back catalogue of episodes from all 7.5 seasons (there are 190 episodes of this show so far!). Also, if you're interested in claims or the complexities of coverage discussed in a really entertaining and educational format, check out What's The Scenario from PLRB, available on PLRB's website (membership required), or free for anyone on all the top podcasting platforms and in video format on YouTube.

    Episode Overview:

    Key Principles:

    • Industry Foundation: Insurance is a caring, people-driven industry. Genuine intent to help is crucial.

    • Clarity Over Buzzwords: Avoid vague language and jargon ("next generation solutions," "AI"). Be specific about the problem you solve and your solution.

    • Respect Time: Generic, time-wasting outreach is detrimental. Be upfront, honest, and clear.

    • Authenticity Wins: Genuine, dedicated individuals who focus on solving real problems build impactful businesses.

    • Relationship Driven: Success in insurance relies on trust and authentic connections.

    Actionable Advice for Sellers:

    • Clearly state the problem you solve and your solution.

    • Be direct and avoid unnecessary buzzwords.

    • Communicate genuinely and respectfully.

    • Understand your audience's needs.

    The Future of Insurance – Wayne Slavin, Co-Founder & CEO, SURE (Return Visit)
    Feb 17 2026
    Episode Info Wayne Slavin is the CEO and Co-Founder of Sure, a VC backed insurtech startup. Prior to Sure he was the VP of Product Management at Tapingo, TechCrunch's Most Innovative Company of 2013. His other past projects and companies include NetStumbler, a consumer app with more than 1.5 billion downloads, the Barnes & Noble Nook eBook reader, Buddy Media (now part of salesforce), and BackupRight the enterprise SaaS company he sold in 2012. He has a Masters Degree from Columbia University. You can see Wayne from his appearance on the show in April of 2024 in the final episode of Season 5. Episode Overview: SURE's Role: SURE provides the technology infrastructure and services that enable large brands, including Fortune 500 companies and major auto manufacturers, to launch and manage their own digital insurance businesses. This allows these brands to control the customer experience and build long-term, durable insurance operations. Embedded Insurance: The trend of "embedded insurance" is driven by the fact that insurance is often a necessary component of a core product (like cars or homes) or can be a friction point in a sale. Companies are recognizing the value of offering insurance directly to their customers to enhance the overall experience and capture economic benefits. The "One-Stop-Shop" Vision: Many large consumer brands aim to be a comprehensive provider for their customers, whether it's for car ownership, homeownership, or financial well-being. Insurance is a natural extension of this strategy, allowing them to create a complete ecosystem around their core offerings. Structural Advantage: Brands that already have a customer base have a significant advantage. Acquiring these customers for insurance purposes costs them next to nothing, giving them better economics than external insurance providers. Evolution of SURE: Over the past year, SURE has focused on helping its partners achieve "permanence" in their insurance offerings. This means enabling them to build stable, long-term insurance programs that are not subject to the fluctuating appetites or market conditions of traditional insurers. Challenges for Traditional Insurers: The existing insurance industry has had ample opportunity to improve its technology and customer experience but has largely failed to do so. This has created an opening for new models. The "Build vs. Buy" Dilemma: While some companies attempt to build their own insurance carriers, this is capital-intensive and distracts from their core business. Partnering with a third-party carrier often results in a loss of control over customer experience and technology, leading to suboptimal outcomes. SURE's Sweet Spot: SURE offers a middle ground, enabling brands to have their own differentiated insurance programs with control and economic upside without the need to become full-fledged insurers or rely on inadequate partnerships with traditional carriers. Speed to Market: SURE can bring partners to market with approved insurance products in as little as 90 days, or even faster for simpler offerings, demonstrating a significant advantage over the lengthy internal development times typical for such initiatives. Industry Inertia: The insurance industry often suffers from a lack of incentive for long-term growth and innovation. Decisions are often based on avoiding blame (omission vs. commission) rather than proactively pursuing new opportunities. This makes it difficult for established players to adapt to new models. The Future of Insurance Distribution: The future will likely involve insurance being more deeply integrated into the customer journey, moving away from discrete purchases and towards seamless, embedded solutions. The current models of comparison engines and traditional carrier partnerships are becoming less relevant. Investor Appetite: There is a significant appetite from investors like private equity and sovereign wealth funds for insurance-like returns, especially for well-defined, scalable programs that leverage existing customer bases.

  • The Future of Insurance – Juan Garcia, Co-Founder & CEO, Tuio

    The Future of Insurance – Juan Garcia, Co-Founder & CEO, Tuio
    Feb 10 2026
    Episode Info Juan García is one of the Co-founders of Tuio, a next-generation insurer built from the ground up with artificial intelligence at its core. Tuio's ecosystem of AI agents — including Leia, Watson, Lisbeth, Sonia, and George — now automate over 80% of customer interactions and 85% of simple claims, showing how AI can rebuild trust in financial services through transparency and efficiency. Juan oversees Tuio's brand, growth, and product strategy, blending design thinking with operational rigor to create a customer experience that feels more like modern software than traditional insurance. Before founding Tuio, he spent 20 years helping companies scale at the intersection of technology and finance — including leadership roles at Monitor Deloitte and global experience in affinity insurance distribution (e.g., Orange Seguros). A telecommunications engineer and La Caixa Fellow, Juan holds an MBA from London Business School and CEIBS. Juan García is co-founder and Co-CEO of Tuio, Spain's 100% digital, AI-native insurer creating next-generation insurance solutions for a customer-centric, tech-driven world. Under his leadership, Tuio has rapidly scaled from a garage startup into a multi-million euro fintech-insurtech raising major backing and redefining what "insurance" means for the digital generation. Juan García brings a unique blend of telecommunications engineering, strategic consulting and startup leadership to his role at Tuio. With a passion for transforming legacy industries through technology, he embarked on the mission of reinventing insurance in an age of artificial intelligence, mobile-first expectations and subscription business models. In early 2021, alongside fellow co-founders José María Lucas and Asís Pardo, Juan helped launch Tuio from its earliest phase — from conception in a garage to its market launch just months later. The vision: build an insurer designed for the digital era, not a legacy insurer digitized. Tuio's model under Juan's leadership is built on three pillars: 1) products designed for digital-native customers (clear policies, subscription-style terms, self-service); 2) technology and automation as core operations, where AI handles everything from underwriting to chats and claims; and 3) a socially-aware business model, with transparency, accessible language and customer alignment built into the value proposition. Under Juan's aegis, Tuio closed a significant €15 million financing round (in 2024) led by major investors including BlackRock and MassMutual Ventures, signaling strong investor confidence in the business model. He has repeatedly spoken about achieving unit-economics advantaged positions: Tuio is approaching profitability by keeping customer acquisition costs low and lifetime-value comparably high. Episode Overview: Company Snapshot: Founded mid-2020, launched November 2021. Serves ~100,000 customers with ~€15 million in premiums. Focuses on personal lines: household, term life, auto, pet, health, travel. Operates as the MGA for all products. Tuio's InsurTech Differentiator: Beyond Process Fixes: Moves beyond early InsurTech's focus on efficiency to fundamentally re-engineering insurance. Targeting Underserved Segment (25-55): Addresses this demographic's demand for digital-first, self-service experiences. Sustainable Growth Model: Rejects "grow at all costs"; prioritizes healthy margins and controlled loss ratios over rapid, unprofitable expansion. Challenging Traditional Playbooks: Proves that a focus on profitability and underwriting is key, even for newer entrants. Key Innovations & Strategies: Proprietary Customer DNA: Collects 100+ non-traditional data points continuously. Example 1 (Device Type): iPhone/MacBook users have ~10% higher claims for stolen goods; this insight influences pricing. Example 2 (Onboarding Behavior): Customers who scrutinize specific coverages during sign-up are flagged for closer review during claims, detecting potential fraud. AI-Powered Claims Management ("Watson"): Handles non-deterministic claims processes effectively. Analyzes customer DNA, policy data, claim history, and more. Performs severity, urgency, and duplication analysis. Assigns confidence levels and escalates high-risk decisions to human adjusters. Transforms claims from a cost center to a "data flywheel." Direct-to-Consumer Model: Operates largely as a direct writer (~60% in the US, ~98% in Spain for new sales). Believes in the value of direct customer relationships for data insights. Acknowledges the role of mediation but focuses on a segment that appreciates their model. Direct model exposes unique challenges like immediate claim filing post-policy purchase, which their data analysis helps mitigate. Claims Processing Excellence: Superior Loss Ratios: Household insurance loss ratio is 55% (vs. 15-115% market average in Spain), aiming for 19% by year-end. Human-Centric Automation: Automation supports, but ...
