  • Opportunity Amidst Innovation: Trends in Insurance as AI Reshapes Distribution | with TX-Zhuo

    Opportunity Amidst Innovation: Trends in Insurance as AI Reshapes Distribution | with TX-Zhuo
    May 22 2026
    Episode 10 of *Insurtech Unscripted* is here. In this episode, COVU CEO Ali Safavi sits down with TX Zhuo, General Partner at Fika Ventures, for a conversation on the future of insurance distribution — and why the next wave of insurtech may be less about replacing brokers and more about empowering them. They discuss how artificial intelligence can help traditional brokers deliver better service, operate more efficiently, and compete in an increasingly digital market. The conversation also explores the debate between embedded insurance and brokerage models, the opportunity to bundle insurance with other financial products, and how customer demographics should shape distribution strategy from the start. Ali and TX also dig into the practical side of insurance growth: selling multiple policies, building trust through personal relationships, improving cross-sell, and using better data integration to make policy creation faster and more seamless. They close with a look at emerging trends, including AI-driven services, net revenue multiples, and what these shifts could mean for the future of insurance and insurtech. At COVU, we believe insurance began as a noble idea: communities coming together to protect one another. Over time, the industry has become more complex, and sometimes that original purpose gets buried. Our vision is to help bring insurance back to what matters most: people, trust, and better risk management. The COVU Podcast was created to help agency owners, insurance professionals, and policyholders navigate the changing world of insurance. From agency growth and operations to insurtech, AI, distribution, customer experience, technology, and the future of risk, we’ll cover the conversations that matter — with a little fun along the way.

  • The Rise and Potential of InsurTech | With Amir Kabir

    The Rise and Potential of InsurTech | With Amir Kabir
    May 22 2026
    Episode 9 of *Insurtech Unscripted* is here. In this episode, COVU CEO Ali Safavi sits down with Amir Kabir, General Partner at AV8 and a leading investor in the insurtech space, for a deep conversation on the evolution of insurance innovation. They trace the history of insurance technology from the early days of large insurance companies in the 1900s, through the first major technology wave in the 1980s and 1990s, to the rise of venture-backed insurtech as we know it today. The conversation also explores the second wave of insurtech, including one of the biggest issues startups are trying to solve: the industry’s long-standing lack of customer-centricity. Ali and Amir discuss niche insurance opportunities, B2B2C distribution, collectibles insurance, underwriting technology, and the challenge of building digital businesses in markets large enough to matter. They also dig into what real scale could look like in insurtech, including the possibility of major exits, the path for startups to become risk-bearing entities, and how technology can improve profitability in specialized insurance markets. At COVU, we believe insurance began as a noble idea: communities coming together to protect one another. Over time, the industry has become more complex, and sometimes that original purpose gets buried. Our vision is to help bring insurance back to what matters most: people, trust, and better risk management.
