People with Experience and Relationships Make a Scalable Company (w/Mike Kalen, CEO Covr Technologies)

Mike Kalen, CEO Covr Technologies has brought long-awaited disruption to the process of selling life insurance through advisors.

Mike says what used to take years now takes only months: Firms have a mandate to digitize their business, so partnerships have become easier. The Chief Digital / Transformation Officer is in a much better position to act as a champion and get new technologies in place than a traditional Head of a business line. 

Part of Covr's secret of success has been giving up single-digit equity to build an active, world-class advisory board. These "sharks" will pick up the phone to open a door or to get a deal closed, and bring new ideas into the product. A great advisor will see whether your technology has high potential so it's a two-way street.
