Kobi Bendelak insurtech israel CEO: “The traditional insurance companies are in competition with other traditional insurance companies, but also with new players entering the sector. This requires them to cope with a far bigger challenge – making the digital change within themselves. The insurtech industry is the engine for this historic change. The accelerator’s cohorts saw the creation of a group of amazing entrepreneurs at different stages. During the five cohorts, the startups raised over 100 million dollars and signed over 25 contracts. It looks like something good is happening here”.
