Zesty.ai said that it will use the money to expand its data science, engineering and customer success teams and ingest additional data into its platform.
Zesty.ai enables property and casualty insurance carriers, reinsurers, managing general agents (MGAs) and insurtechs to better assess risk through its AI-powered technology, which models multi-peril catastrophic loss events such as hurricane, wildfire, flood, among others.
Recently, the company rolled out its wildfire model that integrates high fidelity property level features about vegetation, neighbourhood characteristics, building materials, topography and weather patterns.
Using machine learning, Zesty.ai combines these risk modifiers with actual loss data from the different wildfire events into a projecting risk score that impacts underwriting decisions and risk mitigation strategies.
