Startupbootcamp InsurTech and RocketSpace have announced a new partnership to provide insurance technology startups with a curated community and the unique services required during the formative stages of a technology company’s growth and development. The collaboration provides a bridge between the early-stage startups that graduate from Startupbootcamp InsurTech into RocketSpace’s global ecosystem designed to help high-growth startups scale-up. RocketSpace has helped to accelerate companies like Uber, Spotify, and more than 18 unicorns. As Startupbootcamp InsurTech’s accelerator program enters its third year, RocketSpace’s tech campus in London will be its new home.
The partnership offers Startupbootcamp InsurTech’s select group of tech startups access to services including mentorship, members-only workshops, access to investors, and RocketSpace's Fortune 1000 client roster. The collaboration is designed to curate an ecosystem while fostering and developing top insurance and technology talent. Startupbootcamp InsurTech staff will also join the RocketSpace campus in London.
Sabine VanderLinden, CEO, Startupbootcamp InsurTech said: “We’re extremely excited to be collaborating with RocketSpace. By joining forces, I believe we can achieve great things and create an InsurTech hub in London, and become the place for InsurTech startups to build their businesses. We hope that this collaboration will provide many fruitful opportunities for startups and insurance firms across London and the UK, as well as be advantageous for our partners around the world looking to access the InsurTech community in London.”
Priya Guha, Ecosystem General Manager at RocketSpace UK, said: “InsurTech is one of the fastest growing and most exciting technology verticals right now. It’s important that our community does all it can to support new areas of innovation and growth to maintain the UK’s position as a world leader in the industry. We’re thrilled to have the Startupbootcamp InsurTech team join us and hope we can become the go-to destination for ambitious InsurTech firms looking for a home to grow.”
