Launch Dal, the entrepreneurship program at Dalhousie University, will kick off its winter program with fireside chat with Analyze Re on Jan. 31 at 6:30 pm.

Analyze Re is a Halifax company whose software-as-a-service product helps reinsurers assess risk. It exited in October by selling out to Jersey City, N.J.-based data analytics company Verisk Analytics, Inc. for an undisclosed price.

Analyze Re came together in 2013 when Oliver Baltzer, Adrian Bentley and Shivam Rajdev decided to launch a company after the reinsurance support company they had been working at downsized. Their first step was to go through Starting Lean, the forerunner of Launch Dal.

Anyone interested in attending the fireside chat can register here.

Launch Dal has accepted 14 teams into the program for the winter cohort, and may add more. The program will hold an introductory session Thursday, Jan. 26,  at 5pm in the Collider on the second floor of the Killam Library.

This workshop is mandatory for Collide applicants but open to the public as well.
