Opening Up the Black Box of Insurance: Wunderite and Programmatic Data Aggregation
b'
On this episode, we have Peter MacDonald and Joe Schnare from Wunderite, an insurance startup based in Boston. This was a really interesting conversation around how they are improving insurance workflows for agencies around the country through programmatic data aggregation. We talk about their backgrounds, get into the details of the black box industry known as insurance, and how they work with customers on product development. I learned a lot from this conversation. Enjoy.
But before we get to the conversation, here\\u2019s a word from a sponsor, Blockchain Training Conference, that I\\u2019m really excited about. What if there was an educational industry conference, where all of the sessions were focused on teaching you something instead of selling you something? There is and it\\u2019s Blockchain Training Conference 2019. It\\u2019s going to be hosted August 28th to the 30th in Denver, Colorado. BTC2019 offers every attendee the chance to leave certified and confident in their understanding of blockchain technology. Move past the jargon to gain a robust understanding of blockchain and cryptocurrencies with master classes taught by industry luminaries like Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Ren\\xe9 Pickhardt, Jameson Lopp, Pamela Morgan, and many others. Register today and learn more at blockchaintraining.org.
We also have a coupon code for our listeners that you can use to get a 10% discount for the conference: quantlayer10
