Your father used to be an insurance agent. How does this affect you when building Wepy’s business model?
Hazan: My father z”l, owned the biggest brazilian broker in Brazil, but even in the field of insurance, he always helped me to learn technology. I started to code in 1986 when nobody was thinking about computing. We always agreed that insurance is an abstract product that could be fully automated, especially with AI. I am sure he would love to see how AI and blockchain together really create all the necessary components to make insurance a full machine experience.
