S7 E18: The 99% Speedup: Architecting Real-Time Disability Underwriting for the Gig Economy with Hadi Radwan of Asteya
Dec 20, 2022 · Season 7 · Episode 18 · 25 min
Insurance for your income
Hadi Radwan is an amateur biohacker, which was a new term for me, and means trying to DIY your own biology. He is a family man, and enjoys playing fantasy sports. He's also a podcaster, and regularly interviews founders on his podcast, the First 100, to learn how those people obtained their first 100 customers. When it comes to family, he just had a newborn, so most of his time is devoted to that.
Hadi and his team took a hard look at the the market, and realized that 1 out of 4 people are disabled in their career due to an unforeseen circumstance. Strikingly, 50% of folks are living paycheck to paycheck, and don't even know disability insurance existed. They decided to build a product based on technology that fills this gap.
This is the creation story of Asteya.
