The Insurance industry seems to be under the constant pressure of change.  Changes in regulations, costs and services have impacted how a Broker Agency will keep their current clients and find new ones.

Transitioning from small groups to larger or vice versa is a common topic of conversation for employee benefit producers. Acquisition of new clients was previously accomplished through word of mouth referrals, but rising costs and fewer choices have created an environment that is sensitive to price and welcoming to competitive bids and services.

Five years ago, miEdge™ founder Mark Smith had a fledgling startup with a few employees and a vision for what it could become. Judges for the New Hampshire High Tech Council's first TechOut competition believed in that vision and awarded Smith $50,000 as the first-place winner.

That investment gave Smith some relief with his cash flow and granted him access to a network of advisers who could provide him expertise as he refined a plan to develop data gathering and analysis tools for the insurance industry.

Now, the New Boston company is generating between $4 million and $5 million in revenue, has nearly 20 employees and is primed to double its workforce within the next couple of years. 

"One of the things I learned was that being an entrepreneur is extremely lonely. It's you against the world," said Smith, a long-time veteran of the insurance industry. "What TechOut did was give me almost some brothers that I could go shoulder to shoulder with for advice, support, counseling and ideas."

The 2017 edition of TechOut offers all of that but ups the ante: This year's first-place winner will receive $200,000 in investment funds. The council has extended the application deadline to Oct. 4. (Visit nhhhtc.org or call 603-935-8951.)
