We work with corporate innovators to find unsolved problems, untapped markets or under-utilized assets, with the goal of building successful new ventures through the lens of desirability, viability and feasibility.
We combine proven startup methodologies with a hands-on team that works with your innovators to speed up and de-risk your innovation pipeline and increase your successes.
Relay originated in a collaboration between our innovation team and Highline Beta. As we realized the potential Relay held to deliver efficiencies and effectiveness gains for the whole industry, we decided to spin it off and are excited to witness the rapi market adoption of this elegant — and no independent — cloud-based solution. There is no question that complex risk transfers, whether in reinsurance or insurance, can benefit from the boost into modernity that Relay offers.
We meet your team wherever you are in your innovation and venture building journey, using our entrepreneurial backgrounds and toolkits to help:
1
We help you put in place a process for venture building and innovation at the organizational level that takes into account your strategy through core building blocks like: governance, innovation portfolio management, KPIs and measurement systems. We help you figure out what opportunity areas to pursue and the impact they may have on your core business.
2
Within 60 to 90 days, we identify several venture concepts. Each will address specific, meaningful problems faced by identifiable customer segments. We focus on sizeable markets where you have a right to win and time-to-market is a premium.
3
We validate at least one venture concept within our venture studio, providing clarity about its potential solutions, product roadmap, and go-to-market strategy. We provide the business case and recommend how to advance the venture concept.
4
Whether you choose to build your new venture internally, co-create with Highline Beta in our studio, or partner with a startup, we work with you to find the right path — and invest right alongside you.
