We kickstart our 300+ episodes era with Bobby Touran, Co-Founder and CEO of Rainbow, as Rob Beller and Lee Boyd sit down with him to unpack how he built Rainbow, a technology-enabled MGA laser-focused on modernizing coverage for restaurants and other specialty commercial risks. Bobby walks through Rainbow's "inch-wide, mile-deep" philosophy, explaining why going all-in on a single vertical and owning the underwriting systems, technology, and distribution that support it creates a durable competitive advantage that generalist carriers simply can't replicate.
