“As we embark upon the second year of our BTV Accelerator, we were thrilled to receive nearly double the applicants with a greater range in diversity, broader spread between P&C commercial and health/benefits-tech solutions, and some of the highest-caliber early-stage and growth insurtech companies,” said Dan Keough, Holmes Murphy chairman and CEO and BTV co-founder, in a statement.

BTV is comprised of representatives of 13 agencies and 11 insurance companies.

“The true value in our BTV Accelerator and business model is in the engagement with our trifecta ecosystem of BTV agencies, insurance companies, and capital resources,” adds Keough. “We believe this is the differentiated value-offering to our BTV Accelerator companies, as we work in collaboration to elevate innovation for the broader insurance industry.”
