AIR Parametric

Taming Extreme Weather Risk

Visit Website

Overview

AIR Parametric is a specialty insurance provider delivering parametric insurance solutions for businesses impacted by lost revenue due to extreme weather events. The company builds products from the outside in, working directly with customers and their insurance advisors to understand how extreme weather impacts their operations, then designing coverage that addresses those specific risks.

Unlike most parametric insurance providers that build products and force-fit them into a carrier's or agent's toolbox, AIR Parametric develops its proprietary products and pricing models using independently reported geospatial weather data and leading AI technology. By monitoring weather 24/7, the company ensures transparency of outcomes and a simplified process for customers and distribution partners.

AIR Parametric targets the significant insurance coverage gap for weather-related business losses that do not involve physical damage to property or equipment, a gap that traditional commercial insurance fails to address. Their platform computes billions of weather data elements to deliver parametric weather peril risk management tools.
