Do NOT use SafetyWing
An owner can start “Insurance Claim Concierge for Digital Nomads” from a complaint people already posted. The offer, in one line: Hand off your stuck travel-insurance claim; we assemble documents per insurer and escalate. It is for digital nomads and travelers. Charge a fee when the job succeeds, and test a price as a fee on each transaction. Begin in more than one country. Buyers already talk about this in r/digitalnomad. One thread gathered 48 votes and 63 replies across Sep 14, 2026 – Oct 14, 2026. Use that room to meet the first twenty buyers. Do not export it, and do not republish the posts. Two prompts on this page are complete and free to copy. One drafts the offer, the price, and a ninety-day calendar. The other drafts a month of conversations and proof. There is no login. A software specification is not on this site. When the company is the product itself, a single link further down opens the founder library.

# Business plan prompt: Insurance Claim Concierge for Digital Nomads You are writing a practical plan for one owner who will sell this as a business. Do not write a software specification, a venture memo, or a feature list. Use short sentences. Where a number is unknown, give a range and say what to measure. ## The business Working name: Insurance Claim Concierge for Digital Nomads What the customer gets: Hand off your stuck travel-insurance claim; we assemble documents per insurer and escalate. Who pays: Digital nomads and travelers Where the first version operates: Global How money is collected: a fee when the job succeeds Price band to test: as a fee on each transaction ## The complaint this business answers A SafetyWing customer bitten by a dog abroad has spent months in exhausting back-and-forth, resubmitting the same documents to get reimbursed. Say it back in the customer's words, then say what they buy (an outcome), not what they log into. ## What they use today DIY claims; Public adjusters (not for travel) The plan should name the gap those options leave, and the reason a buyer would switch. Do not claim those options are bad at jobs they actually do. ## Offer Write one offer that can be sold this month: - The promise, in a sentence a buyer can repeat. - What is included, as three deliverables. - What is not included. - How long until the buyer feels the result. - The price, inside this band: as a fee on each transaction. Give a founding price and a later price. - How the buyer pays (invoice, checkout, or retainer) given the model "a fee when the job succeeds". If the natural offer is a service that uses a spreadsheet, prefer that over a platform. Software can come after ten paying customers. ## Customer Describe the first buyer tightly enough that the owner could find twenty of them by name. - Role and situation. - The moment they decide to look for help. - The budget they already spend on DIY claims. - Who says no, and why. ## First twenty customers Channel to start: the public community r/digitalnomad, where a related thread drew 48 votes and 63 replies. Use it as a place to talk, not as a list to export. Write: - A first message that asks for a conversation, not a signup. - Where else these buyers already gather (two places). - A simple pipeline: conversation, diagnostic, paid pilot, decision. - A weekly activity target for four weeks. ## Money Sketch a month-three picture with ranges: - Price times customers. - Time the owner spends per customer. - Tools and contractors. - What "enough" means in monthly profit, so the owner knows when to stop changing the offer. Do not invent a precise market size. Say how the owner would count the buyers they can actually reach. ## Ninety days - Days 1–14: ten conversations, one written offer, no logo project. - Days 15–45: three paid pilots, a written case from each, a price review. - Days 46–90: keep, narrow, or stop. List the evidence that would justify each choice. ## Risks and ethics - One public thread is not a market. Name the two checks that would change the owner's mind. - Do not republish other people's posts. - This is not legal, medical, or financial advice. If the offer touches a regulated decision, say what a licensed person must still do. - Region assumption: Global. Do not promise coverage beyond it. ## Output format Return: 1. Offer (one page). 2. Buyer and the first twenty. 3. Ninety-day calendar. 4. Month-three money sketch. 5. Stop conditions. Keep it under 1,200 words. No appendices.
Growth prompt
Thirty weekdays of conversations and proof. Not an ad plan.
# Growth prompt: Insurance Claim Concierge for Digital Nomads You are planning thirty days of distribution for a business that already has an offer. The offer: Hand off your stuck travel-insurance claim; we assemble documents per insurer and escalate. The buyer: digital nomads and travelers. Price band: as a fee on each transaction. Do not propose ads, a viral loop, or a rebrand. Propose conversations, proof, and a repeatable weekly rhythm. ## Starting point A public thread in r/digitalnomad drew 48 votes and 63 replies. The pain, in the owner's words: A SafetyWing customer bitten by a dog abroad has spent months in exhausting back-and-forth, resubmitting the same documents to get reimbursed. Use the community as a room the owner can speak in, following its rules. Do not scrape members. Do not automate messages. ## Proof to collect before spending List five pieces of proof the owner can gather in two weeks. Examples to adapt, not copy blindly: a before-and-after from a pilot, a price the buyer already pays, a sentence the buyer used, a time saved, a bill avoided. Say where each piece is stored. ## Channels, in order Rank four channels for this buyer. The first must be r/digitalnomad or the place those people go when they are not posting there. For each channel: - Why this buyer is there. - The one action the owner takes weekly. - A message outline (problem, proof, invitation). - A sign it is not working, after which the owner stops. Skip channels that need an audience the owner does not have. ## Thirty-day calendar Write a day-by-day plan for weekdays only. Each day is one block of ninety minutes or less. - Week 1: conversations and the offer, no public launch. - Week 2: two proof pieces published where the buyer already looks. - Week 3: a repeatable weekly post plus five direct invitations. - Week 4: ask the first buyers for an introduction. Review which message got a reply. ## Partnerships Name three types of partner who already speak to digital nomads and travelers (a newsletter, a practitioner, a tool they already pay for). Write the ask as a favor with a benefit, not an affiliate scheme. One partnership attempt in the month is enough. ## What not to do - Do not buy a list. - Do not argue with the tools people already use (DIY claims; Public adjusters (not for travel)). Show the missing job instead. - Do not discount below the bottom of the price band to "get traction." - Do not start a second product if replies are slow. ## Output format Return the channel ranking, the thirty-day weekday calendar, three message outlines, and a Friday scoreboard (conversations, pilots, paid, introductions). Under 900 words.
Questions
How much money do I need to start?
Enough to talk to buyers and deliver the offer once. A service version can start with a written process and a way to take payment. A software version is a larger bet and is not required to test the price. The band to test is Per transaction.
How should I price it?
Test a price as a fee on each transaction, charged as a fee when the job succeeds. Raise it after three paid pilots, not before the first conversation.
Where do the first customers come from?
r/digitalnomad is the clue. A related thread gathered 48 votes and 63 replies. Show up there, follow the room's rules, and ask for conversations. Do not scrape it.
Do I need to write code?
No. The prompts on this page draft a plan and a month of growth. Code is a later choice. The founder site linked once below is where the build document lives, if you want it.
When the business is the software itself, the specification lives on the founder site. Read the agent PRD
A two-week build starts at $10,000 on that site, after a $1,000 scoping fee. This page does not take payment.
