The Global Insurance Accelerator is a mentor-driven program designed to foster innovation by supporting early-stage startups building solutions for the insurance industry. Based in Des Moines, Iowa, it runs a 100-day accelerator that includes office space, access to a curated network of insurance-focused mentors, and structured opportunities to engage with industry executives. The program offers seed funding on founder-friendly terms via a post-money SAFE that converts to 5% equity, with no board seat. Its investors are insurance carriers and its mentors are insurance executives, positioning the accelerator as a strategic partner in the insurance technology ecosystem. The accelerator aims to help startups achieve product-market fit and accelerate customer discovery by linking them with industry partners and providing exposure at events such as the Global Insurance Symposium, which gathers hundreds of executives. Recent partnerships with the University of Iowa's Tippie College of Business and with Tusculum College indicate collaboration to develop innovative insurance technology businesses.
