Anthemis’ Ruth Foxe Blader said: “The Demex Group is successfully designing products for clients seeking standalone protection for climate-linked financial exposures. Insurance carrier partners embed climate resiliency solutions into existing products, such as homeowners or business lines. API integration localizes real-time pricing at the property address- level within customer networks.”

The Demex Group CEO and founder Ed Byrns said: “Property owners, tenants and managers are typically overlooked by the incumbent weather risk marketplace that focuses on agriculture and energy. Recent advances in cloud computing, big data, and blockchain have enabled us to deliver a simple, secure, and scalable platform that’s specifically designed for climate resiliency.”

Earlier this week, Delos Insurance, a catastrophe insurance managing general agency (MGA), raked in $5.3m in a seed funding round.
