Dustin Yoder

Dustin Yoder is an InsurTech entrepreneur dedicated to creating the next generation of insurance sales, service, and policyholder engagement. Yoder found his passion during his high school days working at the family brokerage and quality testing early benefits software. That experience brought him to the InsurTech arena in 2012, making him an early leader in the space. 

Yoder built, and eventually sold, Vendus Product Labs, an enterprise product development company that served clients such as Genentech, Stanford University, and Honda. Following that, he formed Sureify with a goal of revitalizing life insurance for the end consumer. This endeavor took him through twists, turns, and the occasional fall, but it ultimately landed him in a position of influence in the insurance space, enabling leading insurers digitally from the inside out. 

Yoder holds a B.S. in finance from Cal Poly and lives with his wife and daughter in San Jose, CA.
