Jerad Leigh: Co-founder & CEO, Supercede: The founder‘s journey: surviving and thriving as a start-up (151)

There has been no shortage of founders looking to transform insurance over the last five years, but turning innovative insurtech ideas into successful businesses is an incredibly tough challenge.

Jerad Leigh is the co-founder of Supercede, one of many companies we’ve worked with at InsTech London that have made the leap from 'early stage' to ‘established'.

He joins Matthew on Podcast 151 to share his experience of that journey and some great advice on how to build a business.

Talking points include:

• How to test your idea before you quit your job 
• Whether to build or buy your technology 
• Where to look for seed funding
• Juggling day-to-day operations with fundraising
• Selling versus research? Tactics for getting your first clients
• The power of communities
