The Evolution of InsurTech and Building Community with David Gritz

In this episode of Industry Voice, Jeff sits down with David Gritz, co-founder of InsurTech New York and a prominent leader in the InsurTech space. David shares his remarkable journey from working in tech to building a thriving community that bridges the gap between startups and investors in the insurance industry. David recounts his introduction to InsurTech in 2015 during a business turnaround project that led to the creation and eventual sale of Zero, a workers’ compensation software company.
