Starting in 2015, insurance saw signs of the innovation economy creeping into an already complex market.
While other industries might be familiar with the pervasiveness of disruption, it's just the tip of the iceberg for insurance, and innovators in the field are not going to wait around for the rest of the industry to catch up.
In fact, a study from Silicon Valley Bank shows that tech innovators are often bullish on a business climate they see as ripe for growth, and that means insurance. So while it may be tempting to dismiss disruptors because of recent setbacks — for example, Google Compare's shutdown or Zenefits' recent troubles — the persistence of this economy defines how we will see the market change in the rest of 2016 and over the next few years.
