Apple Podcasts Rate and Review for SpotOn

Nikolaus Suhr is the CEO and Co-Founder of KASKO, an insurtech company that offers an agile insurance product powered by API. They promise to make sure your IT empowers you and your business instead of being the one thing that holds your systems setup back. He comes from a family of insurers, allowing him to have a heart for the insurance industry from a young age. Nikolaus also has over a decade of experience working with insurance brokers and has served in critical roles in business development, risk management, and startup consultation.

Nikolaus joins us to discuss how KASKO can help companies scale fast through insurance service optimization. He discusses what inspired him to join the insurance industry, his family history of insurers, and why he decided to start KASKO. He describes why insurance is still primarily a sales game despite the number of new technologies and tools currently available and explains why partnering with other companies fast-tracked their company growth. He also shares the niche they want to fill in the industry and what KASKO offers regarding on-time insurance delivery.

"Insurance just works slightly differently than any other financial product. It's about trust and appreciating how hard people had to work to gain that trust." - Nikolaus Suhr
