Now is the time and the Lab is a perfect place to lean into the current COVID-19 reality, one which has wreaked havoc around the world. We’re helping streamline insurance through our remote sensing, IoT technology, and unique data. Together with the mentors at the Lab, we look forward to building upon our parametric insurance experience and creating new insights surrounding hail storms and insurance products with Lloyd’s and their corporate partners.”
