The Opportunity

Problem

Solo insurtech founders without design teams struggle to create intuitive UX for complex insurance policy customization features.

Solution

CoverSim lets founders upload or build policy UIs, then run user simulations with A/B tests and heatmaps to identify drop-offs in complex flows. AI suggests UX fixes based on insurance benchmarks. Export optimized designs or reports to iterate fast without real users.

Target Audience

Solo founders building insurtech SaaS products without dedicated design teams

Differentiator

Simulation engine with insurance-specific behaviors (e.g., rider confusion patterns), not just generic analytics like Hotjar.
