What Our Clients Say About Us

Corporate Venture Studio

Colgate Palmolive logo

We worked with Colgate Palmolive to support their transformational growth initiative that included the discovery and validation of several high potential initiatives and the execution of a pilot.

Highline Beta led the discovery and validation of several growth opportunities for us. They worked quickly and focused on tangible results. We now have several high-growth business opportunities that we’re pursuing, with new business models and an expanded focus on delivering great services to our customers as we work to reimagine a healthier future for all people, their pets, and our planet.

Patricia Verduin

Chief Technology Officer,
Colgate Palmolive

Venture Building

American Family Insurance logo

Together with American Family Insurance, we validated, built, and launched Relay platform as a spin-out startup.

Relay began as a collaboration between our innovation team and Highline Beta. We realized the potential Relay held to raise efficiencies and effectiveness for our whole industry and spun it off. Now we are excited to witness the rapid market adoption of this elegant — and independent — cloud-based solution. There is no question complex risk transfers, in reinsurance or insurance, can benefit from the boost into modernity that Relay offers.
