I know this one shot attempt at a fully autonomous agentic build of an end to end underwriting, policy admin and now accounting platform is doomed to be a huge pile of slop that is unmaintainable and likely even unusable upon completion.
But when I see hidden detail like this in the work. I can't help but keep trying until it works.

Yup, I’m one of those.. we saw what could be built and what was built/funded. IMO, those that had actual deep insurance experience (especially sales) were not taken seriously + limited investors in the space that had carrier LPs. Felt innovation in the period could have been more impactful. That’s changing, what is possible is changing, exciting times ahead. Maybe former skeptic, future founder, who knows. I just know the game has changed for the better I think. 😎

Piloting a Fintech focused on post RIF employee benefits alongside insurance programs for service businesses positions me well here. But I'd be lying if I didn't admit it takes a toll on me.

With companies continuing layoffs, partly due to AI, this guy argues it’s better to build your own business than rely entirely on another company.

I hope I don't come off like this... I'm not posting hustle/grind content. I'm posting "don't take equity in insurtech" trauma dumps.

Startup founders will talk about all the sacrifice and how hard they work for impressions on x dot com While the grinders building up companies making same or bigger sacrifices as employee 653 pushing their company from $1b to $30b actually believe they’re being outworked

@TyRobben @Kevinkrone I heard he doesn't even use a fax machine, hard to call him a "real estate guy" if true.
