As a rolling program, we offer a highly customized community of quality founders and mentors to help you scale your company.

Avanta Studios provides access to our anonymized insurance data sandbox to startups accepted into the program. This highly proprietary data can be used to train AI-models in the InsurTech space. There are currently no other programs offering this amount and type of data for the insurance industry.

*Given the current global response in dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak, the Avanta Ventures office is closed and all Studios programming will be conducted virtually until it is otherwise safe to reopen. Once shelter in place restrictions have been lifted, and in accordance with CSAA IG corporate guidelines, the office will be accessible once again for use by Studios Companies.
