First Connect

Connects independent agents with insurtech carriers

Overview

First Connect connects independent insurance agents with top insurtech providers and tech-focused carriers, acting as a bridge between local experts and modern, digital approaches in insurance. Its product is a curated network of insurtech carrier partners that agents can access to offer faster, more data-driven insurance options to clients. The company highlights four insurtech advantages: better connectivity and speed, targeted product concepts, full automation, and data-driven decision making. First Connect differentiates itself by vetting and providing only high-quality insurtech partners (the “cream of the crop”) and continually adding new carriers to expand options for independent agents. Its goal is to help agents take full advantage of the new insurtech-driven way of doing business and connect them to a better tomorrow by enabling easier access to leading insurers like Hippo, Clearcover, Ethos, Pie, Attune, RLI, and others.
