episode Lemonade artwork

Lemonade

This episode tells the full story of Lemonade, the insurtech startup that set out to disrupt a century-old industry. Founded in 2015 by Daniel Schreiber and Shai Wininger—outsiders to insurance—they built an AI-first, mission-driven company offering renters, homeowners, car, pet, and life insurance. We explore their early funding, rapid launch, and standout innovations like AI-powered claims in seconds and the Giveback Program that donates unclaimed premiums to charities. The story covers their meteoric growth, IPO in 2020, expansion into Europe, and acquisition of Metromile to enter auto insurance. We also dive into their behavioral economics approach, their brand’s ethical positioning, and the challenge of scaling toward profitability while fending off both traditional giants and new startups. It’s a case study in how outsiders can reshape an industry—if they move fast, leverage technology, and align incentives with customers. Are you happy with your CRM? If not, you'll love My Lindy.

episode Brandless artwork

Brandless

This episode tells the full story of Brandless [https://www.brandless.com], the direct-to-consumer startup founded in 2016 with the mission of offering high-quality household and grocery essentials at “honest prices” by eliminating the so-called “brand tax.” With a sleek, minimalist identity and a bold “everything for $3” model, Brandless raised over $200 million, gained early buzz, and expanded rapidly. However, the flat pricing strategy strained margins, fulfillment costs soared, and customer acquisition proved expensive. A pivot to variable pricing in 2019 eroded customer trust, leading to a sharp drop in loyalty. By February 2020, Brandless shut down amid financial and operational pressures. Just months later, former leadership revived the brand in a leaner form—fewer SKUs, a membership model, wholesale partnerships, and tighter cost control. Today, Brandless continues on a smaller scale, embodying the lessons learned about sustainable growth, unit economics, and maintaining brand authenticity. Are you happy with your CRM? If not, we have an AI-infused one that is really good. Try ⁠My Lindy⁠ [https://mylindy.com/] Add custom AI to your business. Try ⁠Strawberry Antler [https://www.strawberryantler.com/]

episode DeadHappy artwork

DeadHappy

This episode tells the full rise-and-fall story of DeadHappy, the UK insurtech that set out to make life insurance bold, simple, and even fun. Founded in 2017 by Phil Zeidler and Andy Knott—both shaped by personal experiences with mortality—DeadHappy disrupted the market with its “Deathwish” concept, a short four-question application, and cheeky branding. The company grew quickly, reaching 25,000 active policies and £2.5 million in revenue by 2023, earning praise for its speed, affordability, and irreverent tone. But its boundary-pushing marketing—including a controversial ad featuring serial killer Harold Shipman—sparked regulatory backlash. In 2024, its sole underwriting partner withdrew support, forcing the company into administration. While the DeadHappy brand died, its tech platform lived on—acquired by Octopus Legacy to power new life and estate-planning products. The story offers a cautionary lesson: innovation can shake up even the oldest industries, but in regulated markets, brand trust is as vital as product design. Are you happy with your CRM?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
