Ideas spread through a community.

And for many of us siloed in our desk jobs, this phenomenon may be absent in our lives. That’s where the role of conferences come into play.

On today’s episode of FNO: InsureTech, we are sitting down with Head of Customer at Hi Marley—Bryan Falchuk. Hi Marley is a conversation platform that simply and easily connects people with their insurance companies by combining intelligent messaging and human touch to make the experience as easy and efficient as possible.

Innovation comes from the startup.

But a startup has only so much power to bring those new ideas to life. When first starting out, the labor required to lift the operation above sea level is so immense that innovation gets lost in the noise of to-do’s.

This is when it may be time to partner with a corporation.
