‘The idea for Coincover had been floating around for some time, but as I knew nothing about insurance at the time it wasn’t really going anywhere. Insurtech Gateway invited me to meet the team and we talked through a whole bunch of unstructured thoughts. Four weeks later, the Gateway team had helped us shape the idea and we were pitching it to a room full of insurance experts and after we got the answer of ‘ Well… it’s not bonkers.’ we haven’t looked back.’
