Policygenius | June 27, 2022
Impact Partnership intends to use Policygenius Pro to enable its member firms to significantly reduce the time spent placing term life insurance while increasing overall profitability.
Policygenius and Impact Partnership are collaborating to bring the term life fulfillment platform Policygenius Pro to Impact's network of financial advisory and broker-dealer partners.
Policygenius Pro is a turnkey partnership platform that assists advisors in accelerating and streamlining life insurance sales. Advisors and agents can use this tool to refer their clients to Policygenius, who will walk them through the entire process, from policy selection to coverage implementation.
The change allows Impact's extensive partner network, including over 200 constituent firms and 2,000 advisors, to save significant time and energy while still providing a superior client experience. The time savings enables Impact to reduce its current costs of placing term life insurance while also capturing additional opportunity that advisors may have missed due to the time-consuming process of assisting clients in obtaining term life insurance. The partnership is one of many innovation partnerships. Impact has formed, furthering its position as a forward-thinking field marketing organization (FMO).
We're thrilled to be able to offer Policygenius Pro to Impact partners, Term life coverage has always been tricky for advisors due to its time-intensiveness, and Policygenius Pro is the leading solution for alleviating that pain point."
Clay Eschrich, Impact SVP of Life and Distribution.
This gives Impact advisors who use Policygenius Pro access to a wide range of insurers, coverage types, and policy options, including accelerated underwriting offerings that are only available on the Policygenius platform. Case management, underwriting, and product support are also provided by an expert staff of 200+ dedicated specialists.

MULBERRI | July 29, 2022
Mulberri, the business insurance platform for modern PEOs and brokers, announced it has raised a $4 million Series Seed led by a consortium that includes Hanover Technology Management, MS&AD Ventures, and Altamont Capital Partners (via insurance enterprises in its portfolio). A shared platform that makes business insurance easier to access and manage, Mulberri will use the funding to continue to expand its infrastructure and data modeling to help make business insurance more simple, efficient, and transparent.
“For far too long, business insurance has been stuck in the 20th century, and that has had major ramifications for PEOs and brokers who have wanted modern solutions, but lacked access to them,” said Hamesh Chawla, CEO and co-founder of Mulberri.
“For far too long, business insurance has been stuck in the 20th century, and that has had major ramifications for PEOs and brokers who have wanted modern solutions, but lacked access to them,” said Hamesh Chawla, CEO and co-founder of Mulberri. “We’ve been gratified by the enthusiastic response to Mulberri from investors and insurtechs alike. Looking towards the future, we’re excited to continue building out our technology so we can help even more PEOs and brokers reach their highest potential.”
The process of buying, selling, and managing business insurance has always been complex, but increasingly it has become too slow. With manual workflows, archaic processes, and low-tech solutions, business insurance processes have lagged behind other insurance sectors, which have embraced automation and data-first approaches. But that’s where Mulberri comes in.
Launched in 2021, Mulberri is the first business insurance solution purpose-built for PEOs and brokers. Mulberri’s technology enables PEOs, brokers, and carriers to come together to write business and helps them make intelligent data-driven decisions.
“Business insurance processes have been long overdue for an overhaul,” said Jon Soberg, Managing Partner at MS&AD Ventures. “Mulberri recognized this problem and has developed an innovative, streamlined solution.”
Mulberri delivers on the speed, transparency, and efficiency that PEOs and brokers have been asking for. The platform provides smart submission intake, automated quote and bind, data-driven insurance management, and easily accessible protection and monitoring services. It also optimizes PEO business workflows, speeds up client acquisition, and provides risk analytics by integrating with multiple systems like HRIS, Payroll and others.
“Mulberri’s embedded platform empowers each one of the critical parties –– the SMB, the PEO, the broker, and the carrier –– while meaningfully leveling up automation and ease of doing business for the industry as a whole. Mulberri uses the sort of convolutional neural networks that we have successfully deployed in other industries, from energy to defense,” said Joseph Malchow, founding partner of Hanover Technology Investment Management. “Ultimately, that means a faster-growing book of business and happier customers. Hanover is proud to partner with Hamesh and the Mulberri team to transform business insurance.”
