Questions about this program

How was admission to the scout program described?

A May 2022 directory listed the InsurTech Fund scout program as invite-only; current admission arrangements are not established.

Is this the same program as Scout InsurTech's paid membership?

The available evidence does not establish that the historical InsurTech Fund scout program and Scout InsurTech membership are the same program. The advertised Scout InsurTech membership price and benefits therefore cannot be attributed to InsurTech Fund scouts.
