Matt Harris – Managing Director at Bain Capital Ventures

Here's the man funding the future of the insurance industry

Why would you want to listen to a conversation with a venture capitalist? In this case, because this man is helping to shape the future of the industry you work in. Matt Harris is the Managing Director of Bain Capital Ventures – perhaps the leading investor in game-changing insurance technologies (including previous podcast guests). In this no-holds-barred conversation, Matt shares:

• Insight on the future of insurtech – and how radically it may change the life of our consumers, and of course, insurance agents and brokers.
• Poignant comments on how agents must change their behavior to succeed in the coming years.
• How the industry will change as millennials take over more and more of the economy – and what we have to do to satisfy them.

Note from Michael: As the saying goes, ‘follow the money.’ And, when I did, I found Matt Harris. When investments are very, very big, you have to pay very, very close attention. You have to pay attention to the future. To what’s working. To what’s not. And, Matt does pay attention. I’m sure you’ll find him, just as I did: intelligent, engaging, forthright – and visionary. If you plan to be in the industry for more than a year or two, please listen. This is an important conversation.
