Viewpoint Ventures

Viewpoint Ventures is a New York-based venture capital firm specializing in insurance and related industries. The firm focuses on investing in innovative companies that are transforming the insurance landscape. By leveraging its deep industry expertise and extensive network, Viewpoint Ventures aims to bridge the gap between startups and established insurance leaders, fostering partnerships that drive growth and innovation.

The firm's investment strategy is thesis-driven, concentrating on startups that aggregate demand through intermediaries in producer-led markets. This approach targets sectors where human intermediaries, such as brokers and agents, play a significant role in driving demand. By supporting companies that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these intermediaries, Viewpoint Ventures seeks to build the next generation of dominant marketplaces and platforms in industries like insurance, real estate, and wealth management.

In October 2023, Viewpoint Ventures closed its first fund, Viewpoint Fund I, at $147 million. The fund's portfolio is highly concentrated, backing a select number of companies that align with the firm's investment theses. Additionally, the firm launched the Viewpoint Forward Network, a centralized hub designed to share innovations, illuminate market conditions, and cultivate productive business partnerships. At its inception, the network included members from 70 insurance carriers, distribution organizations, and service providers, collectively managing approximately $2.9 trillion in assets. This initiative underscores Viewpoint Ventures' commitment to fostering collaboration and driving meaningful change within the insurance industry.
