For the duration of the three-month accelerator program, the 10 selected startups will relocate to Hartford, Connecticut, a world leading insurance city located on the doorstep of New York and Boston, and become an integral part of the City’s growing innovation and InsurTech ecosystem.
Startups will have the opportunity to rapidly scale, through impactful collaboration with Startupbootcamp’s impressive network of insurance companies, investors, and industry expert mentors.
