The Opportunity

Problem

Gig economy freelancers have insurance claims denied by insurtech platforms like Next Insurance because coverage excludes or inadequately handles short-term projects.

Solution

GigQuotePro aggregates insurtech providers and generates custom quotes covering short-term projects explicitly. Users input gig details once, get compared quotes, and apply instantly with one-click policy purchase. It ensures coverage matches gig duration to avoid exclusions.

Target Audience

Gig economy freelancers undertaking short-term projects via platforms like Upwork or Fiverr

Differentiator
