“The importance of the Israeli InsurTech ecosystem for the U.S. market lies in its innovative solutions and technological advancements,” says Gil Arazi, FinTLV’s founder and managing partner.
Several startups featured on the map have established offices, formed partnerships, and built substantial customer bases in the U.S., transforming the American insurance landscape.
One such company is Lemonade, which has revolutionized the renters and homeowners market with its AI-driven platforms, making insurance more accessible and affordable.
Hippo is recognized for its proactive home protection offerings, utilizing IoT devices to prevent claims before they occur. These advancements have significantly impacted Israeli InsurTech companies in the U.S. market.
Arazi also highlights Next Insurance, which provides tailored insurance solutions for small businesses, simplifying the process and offering competitive pricing. At-Bay, focusing on cyber insurance, delivers comprehensive coverage and proactive risk management solutions to protect businesses from cyber threats.
