We are proud to announce that Teamforce AI has been selected as a featured client partner for the Spring 2026 Insurtech Innovation course at the University of Iowa’s Vaughan Institute of Risk Management.
The Vaughan Institute, consistently ranked as a Top 10 Risk & Insurance program by U.S. News & World Report, invited Teamforce AI to present real-world strategic challenges to student teams.
Sitting with Giants: The Spring 2026 P&C Cohort
The Institute’s Executive Director, Jim Lewis, curated a specific list of organizations to represent the full spectrum of the modern insurance industry. Teamforce AI is honored to be included alongside three of the sector’s most dominant players:
- ManchesterStory, the premier venture capital firm dedicated to the future of insurance and the Founding Partner of BrokerTech Ventures
- FM, the commercial property giant protecting more than one of every three Fortune 1000 companies.
- Captive Resources, the undisputed leader in the group captive market, advising on over $5.5 Billion in annual premium volume.
Why Teamforce AI?
While our cohort partners provide the capital, capacity, and structure that anchor the industry, Teamforce AI was selected to demonstrate the critical need for speed and execution.
The insurance industry—and specifically the self-insured market—faces a massive challenge with “operational drag.” Policies are written and captives are formed, but the daily management of risk often remains slow, manual, and reactive.
This semester, we are showing the next generation of risk leaders how Teamforce AI creates a “System of Proof.” We are teaching students how we help self-insured organizations (which includes the vast majority of the Fortune 500) slash their Workers’ Comp costs and improve EBITDA faster than traditional models allow.
We look forward to the executive briefings later this month and to seeing the fresh perspectives the students bring to the table.
