In the podcast interview, Joe and Chuck discuss Chuck’s impressive background and the founding of HDVI. Chuck is one of the Co-founders of Esurance, which was eventually acquired by Allstate. Chuck and the team at Esurance were one of the first insurance companies to sell policies directly to consumers over the internet, instead of using in-person meetings or phone calls. Chuck has also successfully lead a number of companies that have one characteristic in common – disruptive brands that transformed markets by leveraging technology and data. Chuck and his team at HDVI are using the same playbook, using tech to lower costs and deliver a better customer experience. HDVI created Shift – the first dynamically priced insurance product that enables fleets to reduce the cost of their monthly premiums within their policy term. HDVI’s Shift tool uses a fleet’s own real-time telematics data to charge a fleet the cost of their actual risk. Because HDVI has more precise information, they are able to deliver savings that traditional insurers can’t match. They are also able to provide specific insights that can make a fleet safer – thus reducing their insurance costs. HDVI’s fleet portal and dashboards help fleets understand how to improve safety and decrease insurance premiums.
