The Opportunity

Problem

Gig economy freelancers are frustrated by outdated insurtech platforms lacking short-term coverage and flexible plans tailored to irregular work patterns.

Solution

FlexGigCover offers subscription plans that automatically adjust coverage based on logged gigs and work patterns. Freelancers connect calendars or log projects to predict and scale protection without manual intervention. Usage-based billing ensures you never overpay for quiet months.

Target Audience
