Unfortunately for me, the application required me to download, print, complete, sign, scan and email back to the broker. I then had to re-answer several questions by email. A very inefficient process and one fraught with potential errors for insurance agents. Mike Furlong aims to fix this. In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I interviewed Mike Furlong of Indio Technologies and we discussed his anti-[Sisyphean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisyphus) quest to help agents break their dependence on paper applications and other unstructured data. We also go into some of the ups & downs of creating a startup CONTACT MIKE: [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-furlong-6442b332/) [Email](https://insnerds.com/insights/mike@uxindio.com) [Homepage](https://www.useindio.com/) MENTIONED ON THE PODCAST: [500 Startups](https://500.co/) [RiskMatch](http://riskmatch.com/about-us/) [Vertafore](http://www.vertafore.com/About-Us) [AskKodiak](https://askkodiak.com/#/home) [Slack](https://slack.com/) [Intercom](https://www.intercom.com/) [Google Docs](https://www.google.com/docs/about/) RANK THE RISK [Top Six Errors Agents Make](https://insnerds.com/insights/agents.insureon.com/news/top-6-errors-omissions-claims-against-insurance-agents) ### About Nicholas Lamparelli Nick Lamparelli is a 20+ year veteran of the insurance wars.
