The program was started in 2015. The list of backers includes American Equity Investment Life Holding Company, Delta Dental of Iowa, Farm Bureau Financial Services, Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company, Principal Financial Group Inc., Voya Financial Inc., and a number of property-casualty insurers.
The startups can offer products or services aimed at any type of insurance organization or market.
