Blockchain Startups – Unlikely Heroes for the Insurance Industry?Blockchain technology is often touted as the latest Holy Grail for the insurance industry. It has the power to simplify the claims process, alleviate high premiums, and help insurers create niche coverage. Setting aside blockchain for a moment, most would agree that the industry needs help. It currently spends 10% to 15% of premium income on claims handling. There are a number of reasons why it can be exponentially more beneficial to work with blockchain startups rather than funding blockchain projects internally. They are no legacy systems, speed and agility, internal bias, startups are led by visionaries, startups have more skin in the game, better teams, startups lead with passion, restricted budgets and startups embrace failure. For the blockchain to fulfil its potential for the insurance industry, more partnerships between startups and incumbents are vital. The faster the benefits of blockchain are explored and exploited, the quicker the technology will enter the mainstream.
