Nassau Re/Imagine launches insurtech incubator

Nassau Re/Imagine launched TalentBridge23 an incubator program focused on the Hartford insurtech community. Ten startups focused on retirement and health for seniors have been selected for the program—Benekiva, Charlee AI, Covr Financial Technologies, Frontier Risk, HealthPilot, Estimate, Penelope, Ryskex, Spyglaz and Sureify. 

“In the last two years, we have focused our efforts on supporting startups that solve retirement-related problems,” said Paul Tyler is chief marketing officer at Nassau Financial Group. “These include finding better ways to create more informed consumers, encouraging greater levels of savings, and building products that address emerging needs. We’re also looking to help companies make agents and advisors more effective in providing complex advice in a rapidly changing world.”

Nassau Re/Imagine will run the incubator, which is sponsored by CGI and LTIMindtree with the University of Connecticut and the University of Hartford. 

The startups will be partnered with mentors from a sponsoring company, a university faculty advisor, an industry advisor, an intern and an investor. The companies will also have a chance to pitch at the end of the six-month program in front of a group of VCs and angel investors. 
 
Domenic Luppino, Vice President Consulting Services, CGI, said in a statement: “CGI is excited to sponsor the TalentBridge23 program. Since our inception, we have been committed to supporting our community and the local companies and talent in Connecticut. We feel strongly that there is no better insurance talent in the world than what we have available in Hartford.”
