1?? A VC perspective on the state & future of InsurTech
Basically, it analyses where InsurTech startups stand in the current frozen VC market, sharing lessons learned from that first wave of innovation in insurance. The articles also explores room for innovation in the insurance industry. And that makes sense: InsurTech 1.0 in Europe were mainly (almost 2/3) revamping the distribution part of the value chain.

2?? The state of CyberSecurity in Europe
Securing people, businesses, countries, and their data is a global problem, so it would be very naive to think that the cybersecurity market is limited to the United States. Europe, in particular, presents an interesting case study as, despite a serious focus on data privacy, it is yet to realize its potential as a major market participant. (…) In this piece, I am looking at some of the reasons why that has been the case, and presenting a perspective on the path forward for entrepreneurs and cybersecurity investors.

3?? A FinTech benchmark from LatAm

Servers instantly offer credit card readers everywhere from breezy beach tents in Tulum to high-rise restaurants in Sao Paulo. Pix, an instant payment platform created by the Bank of Brazil, is ubiquitous. Since launching in 2020, it has already been adopted by almost three quarters of Brazil’s population. Fintech is everywhere in Latin America.

From the perspective of the insurtech startup - a major lesson to be learned is embracing Open APIs (e.g., OPIN). The rapid growth of API calls in other financial sectors, e.g., Open Banking (pic below) clearly shows the growth of fintech in banking-related startups.
