InsurTech NY is a New York-based insurtech ecosystem leader connecting insurance carriers, brokers, investors, and InsurTech startups through accelerator programs, matchmaking events, competitions, and industry initiatives. Its accelerator tracks — including the InsurTech Match Program and the Digital MGA Lab — support startups in building commercial partnerships, securing pilots, expanding market traction, and presenting to investors at Demo Days attended by carriers, brokers, and VCs. Participation is non-equity; startups retain ownership while gaining access to key insurance ecosystem relationships.

Publicly available materials do not list a formal checklist, but through competition and accelerator criteria:
 • InsurTech startups developing technology for insurance carriers/brokers or risk solutions. 
 • Companies with product traction or early commercialization intent (Seed to Series B range). 
 • Eligible for participation in competitions if revenue < $250K (specific competition rule). 

Application Submission: Founders apply to specific InsurTech NY programs (e.g., InsurTech Match, MGA Lab, competitions). 

Screening / Selection: Carriers and brokers help filter a large applicant pool into a curated cohort. 

Program Participation: Startups engage in meetings with carriers, brokers, mentors, and optional educational/virtual sessions. 

Demo Day / Showcase: Cohorts present to investors, ecosystem partners, and insurance leaders at an invitation or public Demo Day.
