Also, Clearcover has partnered with Compare, the Richmond, VA-based insurance aggregator owned by Admiral Group. Car insurance seekers can shop for coverage on compare.com and continue to Clearcover’s website, enter minimal-additional information (as data entered on compare.com is transferred to clearcover.com) and purchase coverage.

And now to the business-personal part. Fast Five with Clearcover cofounder and CEO Kyle Nakatsuji: (1) Most overused word in insurtech? Disruption. The very term is competitor-focused, not customer-focused. (2) What business advice you disagree with? That having a better relationship with customers necessarily entails more engagement. (3) Where’s home? Chi-town via Mad-town via Mil-town. Or just Chicago. (4) You need to cook one dish…Trader Joe’s Orange Chicken. (5) Go-to takeout order? Two McChickens with light mayo, then throw away the bottom buns and combine into a double-top bun double-McChicken.

Questions? Answers.
