Holmes Murphy and BrokerTech Ventures will co-host the the second annual Rapid Global Insurtech Accelerator (RGIA) with InsurTech Israel. The accelerator will bring 14 insurtech startup founders who represent six of seven continents to Holmes Murphy’s headquarters Nov. 11-14. The RGIA, led by CEO and founder Kobi Bendelak, provides mentorship and business support and aims to give founders experience with the U.S. market. “I’m consistently in awe of the incredible work Des Moines and the greater state of Iowa have done in the insurtech space,” Bendelak said in a prepared statement. “Couple that with our connection between Holmes Murphy, BrokerTech Ventures and InsurTech Israel, and it’s amazing how we’re able to further strengthen ecosystem ties and build relationships in the global insurance industry.” Dan Keough, Holmes Murphy chairman and CEO and BTV co-founder and co-CEO, said, “Our goal will always be to bring to market solutions that help our clients identify risks sooner so they can drive down costs faster. We believe insurtechs all over the world have technologies that can help us do that, and we are committed to elevating and supporting them for the greater benefit of all stakeholders.”
