New startup partner for InsurTech Hub Munich (ITHM): established in Graz, the award-winning healthcare platform Instahelp is planning a foothold in Germany with its online mental health services.
David Fösleitner, Instahelp’s Business Development Manager, explains: “With ITHM, we have found a strong partner for building business relations in Germany. Mental health is becoming increasingly relevant to the insurance industry and represents a significant cost factor if adequate care is not taken seriously.” He says that it is crucial to support those affected quickly – the ideal being preventive measures. “Enter Instahelp: through us, advice seekers are connected with a specialized psychologist, hassle-free and within 24 hours,” says Fösleitner. The range of topics that customers use to address Instahelp with is very broad: from stress management or depression to relationship and self-esteem issues.
Established startups enriching the ITHM network
“Partnerships with established startups offer valuable opportunities for exchange – both for our corporate network and for the early stage startups in our accelerator,” says Maximilian Conrad, Cooperation Manager at LV1871 and ITHM Ambassador. He adds: “Digital solutions in life, health and personal accident insurance often require a special relationship of trust with the user. The same applies to preventive measures, which are a central issue for us, as an insurer. It’s great that Instahelp is successfully tackling these challenges.”
