The Asia InsurTech Podcast spoke to Ruth Haller, the CEO and co-Founder of Anapi, an insurtech platform that helps startups and entrepreneurs get key insurance coverage to cover new and emerging risks. Ruth is a very experienced insurance executive who started her career with incumbent Zurich Insurance. Ruth and the team at Anapi are focused on small business and startups, helping them manage potentially unforeseen risks including coverage for indemnity and D&O insurance. 

Michael and Ruth discussed startup life and the risks associated with running a startup. However, not only startups are requiring new insurance products. Fueled by the outbreak of COVID-19, remote workspaces are the new norm even in a corporate environment. This is leading to new risks companies are facing including health risks, cyber security and data breaches. If you would like to learn more about risks, listen to Anapi’s own podcast: de.risk

InsurTechs are often faster to react to changes in behavior and in designing innovative products but insurance incumbents are catching up. With the entry of startups in insurance, creativity seems to have increased even within corporates and many are working with InsurTech startups. Even the current pandemic hasn’t stopped investments in InsurTech.
