In this episode of the Reinventing Finance Podcast, KASKO CEO- & Co-Founder Nikolaus Sühr speaks with Randel Bennett, Head of Qixent, about driving insurance innovation for startups and transforming bold ideas into market-ready, profitable products.

During the conversation Randel shares and discusses the following insights with Nick:

📍His background in insurance product design and development, and how Qixent specialises in transforming insurance ideas into profitable products by guiding clients from idea to product to profit.

📍Qixent’s process for supporting startups and established businesses:

- Providing essential insurance coverages like D&O, liability, and cyber risk for startups.

- Acting as an insurance broker or appointed representative to simplify market entry for new ventures.

- Offering feasibility studies, idea validation, and sourcing partnerships with insurers, distributors, and carriers

- Utilising Qixent’s own licences and agents to create a proving ground for clients, reducing their need to establish their own partnerships initially.

- Startups and MGAs looking to launch innovative insurance products.

-County Mutuals seeking modernisation and growth strategies to maintain relevance.

- Non-traditional businesses in insurance-adjacent industries wanting to add insurance as a revenue stream.

📍Examples of client collaborations, including both implemented and ongoing projects:

- Developing insurance products for Hispanic consumers in the US with Spanish-first digital experiences and fair fee structures.

📍Qixent’s commercial model with the clear focus on scalability and value creation for clients.

📍 Industry challenges, like the pitfalls of cost-plus pricing models and the race to the bottom in consumer pricing, and advocating for value-based pricing approaches.
