Purdue Innovates Accelerator is a three-month, investment-based startup program that empowers founders to transform their bold visions into disruptive impact.
Resolvr is building compliant, regulated infrastructure that helps power the future of insurance and reinsurance with digital assets. The company enables digital assets to serve as efficient collateral and capital in transparent, programmable risk-transfer structures, while also making insurance easier to access for digital asset platforms.
Dave Schwab, co-founder of Resolvr, shares his experience:
The most high-impact component:
“The peer pitch feedback. Our cohort heard the pitch over and over as it evolved, so their feedback got specific in a way you don’t get from a one-time audience. At one point they told us to put back a part we’d cut about Lloyd’s starting in a coffee house in the late 1600s, because it helped them understand what was really going on in underwriting, while also giving them a sense of what Lloyd’s is and why it’s awesome and matters so much for the global economy.”
What shifted for Resolvr because of the program:
“We’ve simplified a lot around how we talk about tokenizing access to Lloyd’s via digital assets. We’re so deep into digital assets (like stablecoins and bitcoin) and into underwriting (also not something people deal with much directly) that we used to lose people pretty fast. The program forced us to fix that, and now the pitch works on people well outside of our worlds of digital assets and underwriting/risk markets.”
On looking forward:
“Our goal is to be the first tokenized access to Lloyd’s of London and in the next three to six months we’re focused on getting our first live structure into market.”
