Terms in plain English
The InsurTech NY Match Program costs nothing to join: the program's own page states $0 cost and no equity or fee to enter. There is no direct cash investment. The value is matched meetings with carrier, broker, and reinsurer decision-makers aimed at proofs of concept, pilots, and partnerships, plus talent coaching and investor pitch preparation. The 2026 cycle centers on an Education Day (September 16) and Match Day (September 17) in New York, with additional optional NYC and virtual days.
Who this is actually for
This program fits growth-stage insurtech startups that already have a product and want direct commercial conversations with carriers, brokers, and reinsurers rather than funding. It suits teams that can send a decision-maker to New York in September.
