Insurtech Connect (ITC) Vegas is seeking applicants for its first Startup Pitch Competition, to be held on September 20.

Sponsor State Farm and the ITC advisory board will select ten finalists who will be invited to deliver their pitch, with the winner to be selected by live voting by peers in the audience. The winner will present a second time on September 22 and receive a complimentary kiosk at ITC Vegas 2023.

The competition aims to “give an elevated edge to the fierce startup competition across the insurance industry,” the organisers say. “We’re looking for startups who are developing innovative impact and producing dynamic changes across the insurance value chain.”

The finalists will present live on stage for five minutes each, followed by five minutes of Q&A, during the Pitch Competition at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.
