Beyond Boundaries: The Interview Series Begins

Yesterday we launched Beyond Boundaries 2025 — our most ambitious and comprehensive study of global insurance innovation to date. If you missed it, you can catch up on the announcement here.

Today, we’re kicking off the Beyond Boundaries interview series with a sofa-side chat between Sønr Founder & CEO Matt Connolly and Managing Partner Matt Ferguson.

This is the first in a run of long-form conversations we’ll be publishing between now and ITC Vegas in October, each one diving deep into the themes, companies, and people shaping the future of the industry.

🎙️ Episode 1: “What exactly is Beyond Boundaries?”

In classic Sønr fashion, this first interview is two friends catching up, seemingly totally unscripted… (mostly because one of them didn’t read the prep questions.)

In this episode, Matt and Matt unpack:

• Why Sønr took a break from publishing reports — and what brought us back
• What’s included in the Beyond Boundaries 2025 report (hint: it’s big, bold, and ‘joyous’)
• How the study combines startup data, insurer insights, and ecosystem voices
• What innovation really looks like inside global insurers — and why it varies so widely
• What to expect over the coming months as we build toward the October launch

They also reflect on Sønr’s past reports, what made them impactful, and why this one is different. It’s not just a snapshot. It’s a narrative over time. One we’ll be sharing as it unfolds.

💡 What’s next?

In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be publishing interviews with:

• Leading insurers doing innovation right
• The tech companies – emerging and established – reshaping the market
• Ecosystem players influencing where the industry heads next

We’ll be doing much of this in person, on the road, around the world – capturing insight and sharing it as we go.

So whether you’re a startup, scaleup, corporate innovator, or someone simply passionate about insurance transformation – we’d love to have you involved.
