The problem

Insurers invest billions in innovation.
Almost none of it reaches production.

The industry average pilot-to-production rate is under 10%. The problem isn't ideas or budget — it's the complete absence of execution infrastructure between strategy and production systems.

01
Ideas stay in PowerPoint
No structured path from challenge definition to RFP to a live pilot.
02
Pilots die before production
No pre-agreed KPIs. Scale decisions made politically, not by data.
03
AI delivers no real ROI
Technology isn't the bottleneck. Process, matching, and commitment are.
04
No accountability layer
No shared system between insurer team, startup, and executive sponsor.
The solution

The operating system for
insurance innovation execution.

Not a program. Not a consultancy. The structured platform where challenges are defined, startups matched by AI, pilots run with pre-agreed KPIs, and deployments convert to commercial contracts — in 90 days.

Who it's for

Built for every layer of the insurance ecosystem.

Corporate incubators aren't our competitors — they're our customers. InsureStudio gives every player the execution infrastructure they're missing.

Insurers
Regional & mid-size insurers
Want to innovate but lack a structured process. InsureStudio is your full innovation function.
Corporate labs
Innovation labs & incubators
Already running programs but frustrated by low deployment rates. InsureStudio is the platform layer you're missing.

Reinsurers
Reinsurers & large brokers
White-label InsureStudio as a value-added innovation tool for your entire insurer client base.
Why we're different

Most platforms stop at pilots.
We start there.

Accelerators run cohorts. Communities share ideas. Corporate incubators manage internal programs. No platform has built the structured execution layer that bridges all three — until now.

  • ✓

    Built specifically for insurance

    Designed from the ground up for the insurance workflow, regulatory environment, and risk culture.

  • ✓

    Execution, not just access

    Most platforms give you a startup directory. We give you a structured system from challenge to commercial deployment.

  • ✓

    Data that compounds over time

    Every pilot generates outcome data that trains our matching engine — a proprietary asset no competitor can replicate.

  • ✓

    MENA-first, globally designed

    Built for the GCC regulatory environment, with the architecture to expand across Africa and Asia from day one.

"InsureStudio isn't competing with how corporates innovate — it's becoming the infrastructure they run innovation on."

Whether you have an established innovation lab or are starting from scratch, InsureStudio gives you the execution layer that turns ambition into deployed products.

FAQ

Common questions.

What exactly is InsureStudio — a platform or a consultancy?
+
InsureStudio is a platform, not a consultancy. A consultancy provides people who do the work for you. InsureStudio provides the structured system, AI matching, and workspace that your team uses to run innovation programs independently. Think of it as "Jira + Salesforce + a startup marketplace" built specifically for the insurer innovation workflow.
We already have an internal innovation lab. Why would we need InsureStudio?
+
Most corporate innovation labs have ambition and budget but lack the structured tooling, startup access, and accountability infrastructure to convert pilots to production. InsureStudio becomes the operating system your lab runs on — it doesn't replace your team, it makes them significantly more effective.
How does the 90-day timeline actually work?
+
The 90 days covers: challenge definition and KPI agreement (weeks 1–2), AI-powered startup matching and selection (weeks 2–4), a structured 10-week pilot sprint with weekly milestone tracking (weeks 4–14), and a data-driven scale/kill decision at week 14. The framework only works because KPIs and success criteria are agreed before the pilot starts — not after.
Is InsureStudio only for MENA-based insurers?
+
We're starting with MENA — specifically the GCC — because that's where our network and regulatory understanding is deepest. The platform is designed for emerging markets broadly. We plan to expand to Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Africa. If you're outside these regions and interested in partnering early, we'd love to hear from you.
What does it cost?
+
Three pricing layers: program fees for structured cohort participation ($30–80k per insurer per cohort), a SaaS subscription for ongoing platform access ($2–8k/month), and deployment success fees (5–8% of commercial contract value when a pilot converts). Founding partners receive 40% off year-1 fees. Full pricing is shared during our discovery call.
