BONUS: Why would anyone launch a car insurance startup in a pandemic? ft. Christiaan Steyn

Christiaan Steyn is the head of a new South African insuretech startup called MiWay Blink. In the first episode of this two-part conversation, Christiaan reflects on how the COVID pandemic has delivered growth challenges and opportunities for insurance startups and incumbents alike. MiWay Blink was launched in Johannesburg, South Africa, during the thick of the COVID pandemic. In this instalment, Christiaan offers context-setting insights about the progress of Africa's insurance industry from his South African vantage point. Christiaan also factors in on the size of Africa's insurance market opportunity and estimates how much of that market remains untapped.
