As part of the 2017 Entrepreneurial Insurance Symposium, held Sept. 6–7 in Dallas, businesses were again invited to submit their ideas for innovative insurance products to a competition modeled after the ABC television show, "Shark Tank."

Each finalist had 10 minutes to pitch the idea, product and business plan to the Entrepreneurial Insurance Alliance's judges' panel and the more than 300 insurance professionals attending the symposium. The audience included C-level insurance executives, private equity firms, agents, brokers and technology company representatives.
