A thread on how InsurTechs are going to be impacted because of #Covid_19 and what's the best way to utilize the time between now and the time when life gets back to normal, which could be easily 6-9 months!
#Funding - Given the slow down of businesses, which would create many other investment opportunities for investors, expect reduced interests from investors. Because for them InsurTechs is just another avenue, which may not be most attractive given other opportunities
Conferences and MeetUps - the upcoming opportunities to showcase the product and the idea are sure going to be reduced given #SocialDistancing. This also means lesser time and money spent on impressing the potential collaborators!
Reduced interest from re/insurers - It is important to realize that for the incumbents, InsurTechs are icing on the cake. They would focus more on getting the cake right, which could mean continuing to add the topline while ensuring smooth operations in the era of #WFH
The Opportunity - This is the time to invest in, (re)validating the idea, sharpening the product, finding ways to test it without the help of re/insurers & thus making the pitch stronger. When the time comes, being first amongst the equals would make all the difference!

I have been working remotely since 2017 - running two businesses. While I was based out of Bangalore, the team was/is spread across the country.
Was doing well, my daughter was 3 YO, my wife was on a career break.
And then COVID happened

COVID-19 did two things
1️⃣ highlighted the fragility of life - our lives are indeed hanging by a thread
2️⃣ the world started accepting remote working as the norm - if I had moved to a smaller place before COVID, chances are I would have been "possibly" written off

A lot has been talked about Financial Independence and investment instruments to achieve the desired retirement corpus.
This thread is about a boring yet extremely crucial part of the financial independence journey - the safety nets i.e risk management instruments
[1/10]
If investment returns are an accelerator in the journey of financial independence, risk management instruments (largely insurance) are brakes. Brakes ensure that journey is not derailed and give you the confidence to drive faster🏎
