ob Bolt doch der ganze große Renner wird.

Ich weiß es auch nicht, aber als First Mover haben sie immerhin einen enormen Vorteil.

seit Jahren läuft und der hoffentlich in diesem Jahr der Durchbruch gelingt, weil jetzt auch genügend Nachfrage da sein könnte und der Markt ausreichend "gemacht" ist:

About 6.5 billion regulatory assets under management of Foliodynamix

Finally, regulatory assets under management at the end of Q3 were $5.4 billion compared to $5.3 billion at the end of Q2. The SAS acquisition should add roughly $1 billion of additional regulatory AUS.

spielt Bolt voll in die Karten, denn wie Ihr aus 8579 entnehmen konntet bietet Bolt eine komplette Plattform, die schon längst arbeitet und alle Prozessschritte beherrscht, an.

InsurTech and MatureTech
There seems to be a consensus forming that InsurTech will converge with traditional insurance. Even now, most of the startups are partnering with or selling to insurers, which means that they need to integrate their tech-based solutions with the systems, data, and workflows that exist today inside insurance companies.

The InsurTech firms may be digital agents/brokers, new players in the claims ecosystem, contributors to smart home or connected car solutions, or digital data/analytics providers. They may offer a new breed of solutions to increase operational efficiencies or improve the customer experience. But whatever the specific focus of the InsurTech company, very few are able to operate standalone.

In essence, this means that InsurTech and MatureTech need to work together to enable industry transformation.

Happy New Year from Actua! We’re excited for what lies ahead this year, but before we look too far ahead at what’s to come in 2017, we wanted to reflect on the progress we made in 2016.  The following infographic provides a snapshot of what we accomplished in 2016 including some interesting data points on new customers and users added, platform enhancements and acquisitions completed. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for our predictions for 2017.

sehe ich für Insurtechs, die mit den Versicherungen zusammenarbeiten wollen und nicht überweigend als Disruptor auftreten, Chancen mit eigenem Auftritt zu agieren.

“The biggest percentage of InsurTech companies are seeking to disrupt or change insurance distribution, either as digital agents/brokers, new MGAs, or digital tech platforms for distribution. These new and emerging players will need to integrate with the insurers that are underwriting the insurance and servicing the policies.”

Der Kurs von Actua wird m.E. vor allem davon abhängen, wie sich die Core-company Bolt in diesem Umfeld schlägt.

Momentan sehe ich gute Chancen, aber die Entwicklung ist schweirig vorauszisagen, da die Großen noch nicht ihren Hut in den Ring geworfen haben, nachdem Google kurz nach seinem Start wieder ausgestiegen ist.

aber meines Erachtens schon ein erster gut Schritt

"The sales pipeline continues to build. We entered the quarter with 15 opportunities, closed one, and added three. We finished the quarter with 69,400 users on the platform, up from almost 60,000 last quarter. Additionally, annualized opportunities of qualified risk going through the platform grew to $3.3 million in the quarter, and this resulted in over $1.5 billion of premium on the platform. Finally, carrier connections are up to over 5,500 today, from roughly 5,300 in Q2. We have 100 insurance carriers now integrated into the platform."

Betrachtungen zu Bolt und seine Bewertung, wäre hauptsächlich die Nennung eines Kaufpreises interessant - selbst wenn die Ansatzpunkte zu Bolt erheblich unterscheiden - und der wird leider nicht genannt.

Bei einer US-Übernahme durch Guidwire (siehe weiter oben bzw. vorne) war ich ja über das gezahlte Multiple nicht so erbaut.

interpretiere gibt es auch schon Gekleingänge, die aber noch als Ertrag gebucht wurden.

"Now turning to our businesses, starting with slide six; while BOLT's revenue growth was 4%, bookings are facing much higher. For the quarter, BOLT added $1.4 million of ARR, or annual recurring revenue; the result of significant expansions from two existing customers. And this brings year-to-date ARR bookings to over $4.5 million. This is well ahead of where we were a year ago, which was a low six-figure ARR bookings number for the nine month period. We should start recognizing this revenue next quarter, and as a result, we should see stronger revenue growth starting in Q4."

finance.yahoo.com/news/...a-earnings-conference-183900119.html

mit diesen Ausführungen sieht:

"BOLT had another good quarter from an operating cash flow perspective, reflecting improvement in bookings where cash in received in advance of revenue and also tight cost controls.”

"Kirk Morgan, Actua Coporation - CFO [8]
--------------------------------------------------
And I will just add; I think that we were very encouraged by what we saw in the booking especially at BOLT and Folio this quarter. And BOLT over $4.5 million of ARR in 2016, we really begin to be recognized in Q4. But majority of it will be in '17, and so, I think we are setting ourselves up for a good 2017.

Hier ist das Einschalten von Untertiteln empfehlenswert.

Dass irgendwann Bolt ein Unicorn werden könnte, schließe ich nicht völlig aus.

The Bolt Platform is a fully integrated, turnkey, software-as-a-service, cloud offering that includes:
         •§Full technology platform, including a portal for consumers, independent agents, captive agents, wholesalers, brokers and consumers;
         •§Integrated call center technology;
         •§Reporting and analytics;
         •§Fully licensed agents in all 50 states for both personal lines and commercial lines; and
         •§Access to personal and commercial lines products from top insurance companies, MGAs and wholesalers in the U.S.

The Bolt Platform is also available for white labeling and can be implemented in a matter of weeks due to its cloud deployment.

die Entscheidung, vom ehemals überwiegend Software-Anbieter zu dem allumfassenden Angebot, das ich in meinem letzten Posting beschrieben habe; zu kommen:

Operating under the SeaPass name, the company earned a solid reputation as a leading independent provider of web-based insurance distribution software for the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry. As Bolt, the company has expanded its offerings beyond software. By leveraging the new Bolt Platform, Bolt will now also offer a complete end-to-end environment, from quote to issue to service, including all the technology, people, and processes – as needed. All stakeholders in the insurance buying and selling process have access to the Bolt Platform for real-time interaction to choose, buy, sell, and service insurance. Users of the Bolt Platform include policyholders, agents, brokers, MGAs, wholesalers, and carriers.

gerade einmal auf eine Marktkapitalisierung von knapp 350 Millionen kommt.

ergeben sich aus dem, was in der überaus interessanten nachfolgenden Studie steht:

www.pwc.lu/en/fintech/docs/pwc-insurtech.pdf

Ich bin auch sicher, dass sie Bolt nutzen kann - nur der Umfang ist völlig offen. Nach einigen Jahren Vorlauf, scheint ja jetzt im vierten Quartal auch der Geldzufluss anzuschwellen und wird sich auch in 2017 fortsetzen. Aber wie weit das trägt, hängt von vielen Unwägbarkeiten ab.
