STAYING COMPETITIVE REQUIRES INNOVATING A DIGITAL SPEEDS

While much of insurance in the past revolved around financial ecosystems and relationships, the next generation of insurance will include digital ecosystems that connect people, things, data, and analytics. Staying competitive in a digitally transformed insurance industry will require  keeping pace with the digital innovation in this landscape.

Building an Innovation Community is Essential for Market Leadership
Paul Carroll CEO, Insurance Thought  Leadership
The trends and technologies driving insurance innovation and transformation are staggering. No one company has the ability to assimilate and act on all of the opportunities and challenges those are creating. Building an innovation community, and having a dialog like the one taking place at this conference is essential for any company that expects to emerge as a market leader.
You Can’t Innovate at the Speed of Insurance
Brian Hemesath, Managing Director, Global Insurance Accelerator (GIA)
Brian referenced a quote by Alex Polyakov, Co-founder and CEO of Livegenic, during his presentation. Alex’s quote was, "You can't win by innovating at the speed of insurance”. According to Brian, Competing with technology is a very different game. Innovation is now taking place at digital speeds, you won't survive if you aren't keeping pace.

started as a better way for Small Business Owners to choose and buy their insurance by using the unique BOLT Insurance platform. The success of the BOLT Insurance Platform has produced customer ratings that place BOLT in the top 1% of all US businesses; in other words, our customers love us. This same BOLT Insurance Platform has now evolved into a better way for anyone to choose and buy insurance, whether they own a business or not. Our mission is to protect automobile owners, property owners, and small business owners from the risks they face every single day, including the hidden risks—by delivering best in class insurance products and service to protect you. We believe there is a better way to sell insurance and service customers by providing choice and expertise to all. When we started, we had found that traditional insurance agents often did not properly serve their small business customers. We believed many of them wanted to, but they just couldn’t afford to service them and so the BOLT Agency was first built from the ground up to serve the needs of small business. But then, we found this same level of service and expertise that we provided, combined with the BOLT Platform, was a better way for anyone to buy insurance and so we expanded to serve all those seeking insurance for their automobile, property, or business.

ob die Zahlen von Bolt Insurance komplett bei Bolt Inc einfließen (Vollkonsolidierung) oder nur eine Restgewinngröße.  

in der folgenden Darstellung ist nicht eindeutig:

Bolt
Bolt generates revenue from (1) SaaS software licenses, (2) maintenance and support services, (3) professional service fees, (4) insurance commissions, including contingency bonus revenues from insurance carriers, and (5) subscription fees.  

Bolt enters into certain multiple deliverable arrangements that relate primarily to its software licenses (which are delivered through a cloud-based model), professional services necessary for the functionality of the software, and maintenance and support services. Bolt evaluates each deliverable in a multiple deliverable arrangement to determine whether that deliverable has standalone value. A delivered element has standalone value if the element has value to a customer on a standalone basis (determined by reference to whether Bolt routinely provides these elements independent of other products and/or services, or a third-party vendor could provide a similar service to the customer). Additionally, Bolt considers whether there is a customer-negotiated refund or return right for the delivered element. If these criteria are not met, the deliverable is combined with the undelivered elements and the allocation of the arrangement consideration and revenue recognition are determined for the combined elements and recognized over the applicable contract term.

For Bolt’s professional services or other deliverables that are determined to have standalone value, Bolt allocates the total revenue to be earned under the arrangement among the various elements based on a selling price hierarchy using the relative selling price method. The selling price for a deliverable is based on the best estimated selling price (“ESP”), as neither vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value nor third-party evidence (“TPE”) of fair value is available. VSOE of fair value is based on the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately. TPE of fair value is determined by evaluating largely similar and interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers. ESP is established by considering factors such as margin objectives, market conditions and competition.  ESP represents the price at which the company would transact for the deliverable if it were sold by the company regularly on a standalone basis.  

Under Bolt’s cloud-based software licenses, certain professional services are essential for the functionality of the software, and the related maintenance and support services do not have standalone value to Bolt’s customers and are therefore combined, and revenue under these licenses is recognized ratably over the applicable contract term.  For certain professional service deliverables that have been determined to have standalone value, Bolt has historically concluded that neither VSOE nor TPE of fair value can be established and, accordingly, it has relied on ESP to allocate revenue to each element. Those fees are then recognized as the services are performed and/or the professional services are delivered. Finally, certain professional services are sold separately. Those fees are recognized as the professional services are delivered.

Bolt’s commissions on the premiums from sales of insurance policies are recognized when Bolt has sufficient information to determine (1) the amount that it is owed and (2) whether it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to Bolt. Bolt recognizes subscription fee revenue over the subscription period, which is generally a one -month period.  

Bolt has typically represented a small amount of Actua’s historical deferred revenue balances.  Bolt’s contracts are generally billed in annual, quarterly or monthly installments.

FORM 10-Q

ICG owns approximately 9% of Anthem Ventures Fund, L.P. (formerly eColony, Inc.) and Anthem Ventures Annex Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Anthem”), which invest in technology companies. ICG acquired its interest in Anthem in 2000 and currently has no carrying value in Anthem. Accordingly, the receipt of distributions from Anthem by ICG would result in a gain at the time ICG receives those distributions.

sollte, was ich aber letztendlich offen lassen muss, weil Actua da für mich unverständliche Geheimniskrämerei betreibt, wäre das positiv - aber irgendeine zahlenmäßige Einschätzung bezüglich des Wertes dieser Beteiligung an Anthem Venture ist meines Erachtens nicht möglich.
