Overview
Adaptive Insurance is a specialty insurtech company offering parametric insurance products designed to help U.S. businesses manage financial losses from climate and weather-related events. Founded in 2024 and based in the Austin, Texas area, the company targets the estimated USD 181 billion annual global protection gap left by traditional insurance, with an initial focus on the approximately USD 150 billion in losses U.S. businesses sustain annually from power outages.
The company's platform uses AI, real-time climate data feeds, and predefined trigger events to deliver coverage that bypasses the conventional claims process. When a verified trigger fires -- such as a grid outage detected by a network of sensors -- payouts are processed automatically, typically within days. Policy issuance takes under five minutes. Products are distributed through brokers, agents, and direct channels, and are backed by A.M. Best-rated carrier partners.
Adaptive raised USD 5M in seed funding in February 2025 from Congruent Ventures, Montauk Climate Corp, and Generation Space (the U.S. arm of Seraphim Space). Its flagship product, GridProtect, launched in October 2024 and is now available in 18 states through a capacity partnership with Tokio Marine HCC, covering approximately 2.36 million small and medium-sized enterprises.
