ICHRA is transforming how employers approach benefits, and we’re just getting started.”

Each year, CB Insights highlights startups that are reshaping how insurance and benefits work; analyzing factors like deal activity, industry partnerships, investor strength, and hiring momentum. The evaluation also included proprietary company data such as Commercial Maturity and Mosaic Scores, along with direct input from startups through Analyst Briefings and Scouting Reports.

CB Insights’ Senior Analyst Chris Sekerak noted that nearly three-quarters of the companies on this year’s list didn’t exist at the start of the decade.

“The 2025 Insurtech 50 is a barometer for insurance innovation,” he said. “These new entrants are shaping a competitive landscape where AI agents augment operations and customers gain more coverage choices.”
