GigEasy Joins Guidewire Insurtech Vanguards Program
NEW YORK, July 27th, 2022 – GigEasy, a new platform offering a rent protection benefit for gig economy workers, announced that the company has joined Guidewire’s Insurtech Vanguards Program, an initiative led by property and casualty (P&C) cloud platform provider Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE), to help insurers learn about the newest insurtechs and how to best leverage them.
“At GigEasy, we believe in the rise of the gig economy. We also believe that gig workers deserve a benefit platform built for them that tackles the unique challenges of being a gig worker,” said Rilwan Lawal, founder and CEO, GigEasy. “Partnerships with companies like Guidewire are critical in our mission, as we continue to grow as a flexible benefits provider for this important population.”
Insurtech Vanguards is a community of select startups and technology providers that are bringing novel solutions to the P&C industry. As part of the program, Guidewire provides strategic guidance to and advocates for the participating insurtechs, while connecting them with Guidewire’s P&C customers.
“GigEasy’s RentProtect product, delivered through a platform user experience, is designed to bring greater security to independent workers,” said Laura Drabik, chief evangelist, Guidewire. “We are thrilled to welcome GigEasy and its technology to our program and introduce its flexible solution offering to our customers.”
GigEasy’s RentProtect benefit is exclusively designed for gig workers – independent contractors, freelancers and others who work short-term assignments or other assignments outside of typical employment arrangements.

Brilliant idea, this will make a huge difference to our contractors!
"I don't visit the hospital a lot, but I needed a plan that would allow me to have an annual physical and address any random health issues that pop up from time to time. GigEasy's $35/month health plan is perfect for this."
I am aware of the lack of benefits afforded to those in the gig economy, GigEasy has designed a place where gig workers can access much-needed resources.
GigWorkers are largely underserved when it comes to benefits, GigEasy is providing a much needed service for them.
Although I already have health and vision coverage through my wife's job, I still needed Dental coverage. With GigEasy, I can select plans that meet my needs.
The RentProtect product gives me peace of mind in case I get injured or sick. I had a back injury and was out of work for six months five years ago. I wish I had this product back then.
