Imagine getting a check in the mail just because your town got more expensive or less safe.

This week on The Age of the MGA Podcast, we sit down with the founders of PlaceCovr, an MGA that’s launching a brand-new category of insurance: Location Insurance. It’s parametric. It’s data-driven. And it’s built to protect homeowners from the hidden costs of living in a declining town.

We cover:

  • What “Location Insurance” really means
  • Why they created an entirely new parametric model to track local tax burden, crime, and school quality
  • How payouts work without requiring a claim
  • The simplicity behind their tech stack and distribution model
  • Lessons on building a first-of-its-kind MGA from scratch

This episode is a must-listen for anyone thinking about creating something truly original in the MGA space.
