The BYOCustomer model applies when a few organisations seek to launch an alternative insurance solution.
Those organisations become Foundation Members of the Mutual by purchasing the products to protect themselves.
The Foundation Members want to make the Mutual available to a wider community of like-minded organisations.
For example, other organisations within the same industry, or geographic location.
BYOCustomer Mutuals usually have a new, stand alone brand that reflects the purpose & target market.
Picnic Labs designs, operated and growth the Mutual with the assistance of the Foundation Members.
The BYOCustomer+ model enables a Sponsoring Organisation or association to define the customers and lead the growth of the Mutual.
The market is defined by the membership or known customer base of the Sponsoring Organisations.
The sponsoring organisation may itself, not be a member of the Mutual.Picnic Labs delivers designs and operates the Mutual.
The Members join the Mutual via the sponsoring organisation - be it a commercial entity, association or industry body.
BYOCustomer+ Mutuals may be branded to reflect the sponsoring organisation, or have a standalone brand.
