Summary

Another slight shift for this week's episode. The tables were turned and Robin Merttens and Matthew Grant were interviewed as one of the keynotes for the recent Insurance Insider event "InsiderTech". Catrin Shi asked such great questions - and we haven't recorded a partners' chat for a while - so we polished it up and here it is. We managed to fit all of these into 30 minutes: - What does Insurtech actually mean these days? - How is funding getting in for insurtechs, start-ups and others? - Acceleration in activity over last few months? - Are we seeing a once in a decade opportunity now? - What's happening in innovation at insurers themselves? - Data - good or bad? - Advice for innovation mangers at insurers?

0:00.0	Hello, another week, another podcast. Now, I'm not sure what's happening out there in the world just now, but in May, our podcast downloads increased dramatically. Now, I've certainly had some wonderful guests in the last
0:24.7	month, James Birch and Mark Allen, talking about Brits' key algorithmic underwriter, Frank Perkins
0:30.3	from Inari, sharing his advice on building your technology, and Sean Ringstead, chief
0:35.2	digital office of Chubb on his love of IoT. We also had Andy and Melanie from Kind, the recently formed Cyber Company and finally Nigel Walsh from Deloits sharing his views on practically everything. Now I've had great guests every month, so I think it's partly because the weather's getting better and restrictions being lifted, so more of you're out exercising and listening to podcasts again,
0:57.3	or like one of our past guests, even listening whilst you're mowing the lawn.
1:01.5	Well, we're going to test things this week, see how we do for June.
1:03.9	It's Matthew Grant here, one of the partners at Instech, London.
1:07.4	And Rob and I were interviewed by Katrin Shee of Insurance Insider
1:11.3	last week for their insider tech events.
1:14.2	We're big fans of the insider, great insights there on what's going on in the world and
1:18.0	they're very fast to get the news.
1:20.0	And we thought Katrin asked some great questions.
1:22.4	We haven't had a partner's chat for a while, so we're bringing it to you for this week's
1:25.8	episode.
1:27.1	Now the sound
1:27.7	quality is not perfect but Peter's worked his usual magic on it and polished it up
1:32.0	now I don't know about you but I'm finding some potentially good podcasts are
1:35.6	actually being ruined by poor sound quality and shoddy editing now we may be
1:40.4	bootstrapping here in state London but we're spending money where it counts
1:43.4	we do like a bit of nature though so we've left in the bird song, see if you can figure out what it is.
1:49.2	Hang in to the end to find out who we've got coming up in the next few weeks and starting this week, the Instac London competition.
1:59.6	I'm delighted to be joined by Matthew Grant and Robin Merton, both partners at Intertech London,
