Why is the Insurance Industry Trying to Reach us When We’re Watching Sports Games? (w/Daniel Demetri, CEO Trellis)

Daniel Demetri is the founder and CEO of Trellis, an insurtech company leading a fundamental shift in how businesses and consumers engage with insurance. Trellis provides insurance optimization, depending on consumer needs for higher coverage, lower deductibles, better service quality, or lower cost. Daniel believes consumers deserve financial services and experiences that automatically work cohesively to support and simplify their lives. Daniel built Trellis to enable consumers to compare their existing policy, purchase a new policy, and cancel their old one, using data from the insurance experience that helps banks and insurers cross-sell products & services. He says insurtechs can create new value for customers by using data, and can monetize for that value with banks.  He also describes raising capital in the current economic cycle, how Covid re-positioned insurance in a consumer's budget and lifestyle, and what the immediate future holds for the insurtech industry. Daniel previously co-founded States Title, the title insurance technology company that recently rebranded as Doma. Daniel also led product management for Earnest, the leading online student loan originator, and worked at Google, Kayak, and a number of global financial services firms. Daniel received his B.A. from Harvard University in Computer Science and Economics and currently resides in the Boston area.  Follow the Insurtech Leadership Podcast airing weekly hosted by Joshua R.
