Salvato Auctions is a US-based start-up transforming the claims process for vehicles deemed as a total loss. Its end-to-end workflow streamlines every stage of the process, to deliver higher net returns, faster cycle times, and a better claims experience for insurers and their customers. Learn how Salvato joined Insurtech Insights as a newly founded company to bring its solution to the market and connect directly with insurance buyers.
In 2024, Salvato was in its early launch phase and needed to establish a customer base from scratch.
Their priority was clear: to connect with carriers, MGAs and TPAs in the US auto market. But as a new company without pre-existing relationships, reaching key decision-makers was essential.
Salvato joined Insurtech Insights USA in 2024 as a kiosk exhibitor.
“Breaking through to new or warm decision-makers is so much easier in person. In today’s world of remote meetings, those face-to-face opportunities to build real human connections are incredibly valuable - and that’s why we invested in a physical presence at Insurtech Insights”.
With 40% of attendees representing carriers and intermediaries and 72% being decision-makers, Insurtech Insights was the ideal platform to build credibility, start meaningful conversations and build the relationships needed to fuel growth.
By using the event’s networking app, Salvato identified and pre-scheduled meetings with their ideal clients – ensuring their kiosk attracted the right audience on the day.
The event was a “huge success” for Salvato, who secured their first ever customer – an insurance carrier – from these meetings.
In 2025, Salvato returned as a sponsor at Insurtech Insights USA, bringing that same carrier as a VIP guest – a “full circle moment” as Peter describes it. They also built a strong pipeline of new and warm leads, with promising opportunities expected to sign this year.
“We loved it – we met our first insurance customer at Insurtech Insights from a completely cold connection. This is unbelievably valuable for us as a start-up, where every customer matters”.
