    So far it seems they have spent a lot of money on marketing/talking about how great they are. We’ll see if their mouse trap is better than any others. A line of business with slim margins. It’s a commodity.

    And you would know how much money they have spent on marketing how??!! This is the first article I’ve seen in regards to how great they are/marketing. And yes, perhaps this is a really great idea. It’s about time the insurance industry became a little more modernized. Either you are a competitor who realizes you’re about to get STOMPED, or just a really ignorant person.

    Be interesting to see how they are going to pull this off

    ““We took everything that’s wrong with the current state of home insurance – the confusing forms, the outdated policy terms, the agent as middleman – and fixed it”

    Every term in every policy has a specific meaning and purpose that has been tested by competition and the court system. And how will they explain it to insureds without an agent?
    They better have a lot of VC money to burn through as they try and get this thing off the ground with the various DOI’s…and then if they do that, how they fare when claims actually come rolling in.
    So far the disrupters have done a fair job of disrupting VC money but not really changing things.
    Ho Hum
