Of all the opportunities in fintech, insurance technology, or insurtech, might be the biggest.

Here are a few of the biggest players in the space.

SigOpt: SigOpt uses machine learning to automate and better analyze a company's models—essentially training them to be more efficient. This is especially useful for companies in the fields of fraud detection, risk, and algorithmic trading, but the technology can also be used in the energy and manufacturing industries.
