Couldn't be more bullish on Equal Parts and Michael Witte, congrats on the $23m Series A and pumped to have Inspired Capital and Mark Batsiyan join the cap table. Max Ventures is a proud day zero investor. I’m generally skeptical of the VC trend of “roll up businesses + deploy AI = venture returns,” but Equal Parts is both a compelling exception and an illustrative use case for how this strategy can work. 1) Real operating results, quickly. Since founding in March 2025, Equal Parts has driven ~40% revenue growth across acquired agencies and nearly 50% bottom-line improvement. Independent insurance agencies are deeply under-served technologically — but these gains are still very notable by any standard. 2) Platform, not just roll-up. Their operating platform gives agencies shared infrastructure and automation that accelerates scale. It also supports new agency formation and spin-outs from large carriers — creating a broader ecosystem effect. At scale, this starts to look like a “Shopify-ication” for independent insurance businesses (h/t Ryan Darnell for the framing 😁). 3) Timing tailwinds. The industry faces a generational transition, with roughly half of agency owners expected to retire in the next decade. Equal Parts provides an exit path that preserves culture and autonomy while upgrading operations — increasing both acquisition supply and tech adoption among next-gen owners (who are hopefully more apt to adopt tech). 4) Team Quality. Michael Witte, Mike Meller and Graham Yennie are exceptional operators — which is ultimately what makes a thesis like this executable. Takeaway an AI-enabled roll-up winning strategy: (a) a structurally under-served industry, (b) a real operating platform that benefits acquisitions, existing businesses, and new entrants, (c) demographic tailwinds, and (d) of course high-caliber operators = 🚀🚀🚀. https://lnkd.in/dzxQR2s2

When a 50+ company insurance giant with operations across 30 countries decides to embrace innovation, the results can be transformative. Here's how Vienna Insurance Group (VIG) did exactly that. In 2019, VIG partnered with Plug and Play to bring easy-to-implement, high-impact innovation directly into their 50+ companies across Central and Eastern Europe. But…how could a traditional insurance group with deep local roots across diverse markets create a unified yet flexible innovation framework? To bridge that gap, together, we are focusing on 4 key objectives: 1. Implementing open innovation across the entire Group 2. Sourcing easily-integrated solutions scalable within diverse markets 3. Building a true innovation culture across all companies 4. Equipping leaders to embed innovation into strategy and decision-making And the results have been transformative: ✅ VIG Xelerate (their annual innovation contest) received expert evaluation support, dramatically increasing quality submissions across the group ✅ 350+ carefully vetted startups were sourced in targeted technology fields ✅ 70+ startups engaged in tailored 1:1 meetings exploring real collaborations ✅ 10 Executive Innovation Trainings delivered, providing C-levels & Directors with best practices and proven innovation management tools and frameworks ✅ 5 major Innovation Days co-hosted, bringing together companies from across their ecosystem ✅ Quarterly Insurtech Trend Presentations to keep all companies ahead of market shifts Perhaps most importantly, we helped launch the VIG Innovation Community, connecting 100+ innovation champions across the Group to share ideas and projects and accelerate internal scaling through group-wide collaboration. This partnership reminds me of what we consistently see in successful corporate innovation: The best results come not just from exposure to startups, but from systematically building innovation capabilities throughout an organization.
