I think you made a good choice in picking renter's as your first policy offering. It's not complex, many people are required to have it (as a landlord, I certainly require it of my tenants), and you won't have a tough time getting some reinsurance for your policies.

How will you deal with aggregator sites? Will you allow scraping?

Best of luck.

Thanks!

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) you're asking about comparison sites - in those cases the law requires them to establish an agency relationship. We're open to it and think we'll compete well, but much like Southwest it would be hard to give better prices anywhere else than our own site.
