S4 EP73: Transforming Specialty Insurance with Scalable Tech - Michael Fiedel, Co-Founder and CEO, PolicyFly

On the "Insurance Coffee House" podcast, host Nick Hoadley welcomes Michael Fiedel, the Co-Founder and CEO of PolicyFly.
Michael shares his unique journey from advertising sales and digital product studios to leading one of the most innovative insuretech companies in the specialty insurance space.
He explains how a project with a niche MGA in musical instrument insurance became the foundation for PolicyFly a modern policy management platform enabling end-to-end automation for MGAs and carriers. Starting with just one underwriter, the program grew 500% thanks to the technology his team built, highlighting the transformative impact of digital infrastructure in specialty lines.
Michael discusses how PolicyFly empowers small teams to manage entire product lines online, from quote to bind to ongoing policy management, all from one platform. He shares how the company is supporting UK-based underwriters to grow US portfolios remotely, and how this distributed, tech-enabled model is helping reshape the future of underwriting.
He also dives into his role as Co-Founder of Scout InsureTech, an initiative spotlighting and supporting emerging insuretechs across the US and beyond. Michael outlines how Scout bridges the gap between early-stage startups and carriers/brokers by profiling innovative companies and helping buyers cut through the noise.
With a passion for team building, Michael emphasises the importance of deep ownership, experimentation, and network building for those considering a move from traditional insurance roles into startups. He shares his goal of creating lasting financial success not just for himself, but for his entire team.
Michael also offers practical career advice to insurance professionals eager to make the jump into insuretech: start by talking to a founder, build genuine relationships, and don’t wait to grow your network.
