As part of the 2016 Entrepreneurial Insurance Symposium held Sept. 7-8 in Dallas, companies were invited to submit their ideas for innovative insurance products to a competition modeled after the ABC television show, "Shark Tank."
The six finalists were given 10 minutes to pitch their ideas, products and business plans to the Entrepreneurial Insurance Alliance judges' panel and the more than 300 C-level insurance executives, private equity and other insurance professionals attending the symposium.
EIA advisory board members Barbara Bufkin, executive vice president for business development forHamilton USA; Steve England, president and CEO of Global Risks; Richard Kerr, founder, CEO and chairman of MarketScout; and Matthew Power, executive vice president and head of strategic development at Lexington Insurance Co., served as the judges for the competition, moderated by Hank Watkins, president of Lloyd's North America.
