BirdsEyeView Technologies
Natural catastrophe modelling and exposure management software for the global insurance market
Overview
BirdsEyeView Technologies is a natural catastrophe modelling and exposure management software provider for insurers, reinsurers, MGAs, and brokers. Founded in 2019 and based in London, the company builds tools that allow underwriters to conduct hazard modelling at the point of underwriting, without relying on periodic third-party catastrophe model runs.
The company's CERA suite is a cloud-based SaaS platform processing over 2 billion climate data points across more than 10 perils globally. Core modules cover probabilistic hazard modelling, exposure and aggregate management, AI-powered location geolocation, live event alerting, and a natural language AI underwriting co-pilot. The RAPTOR algorithmic engine underpins parametric product structuring using meteorological data from NASA and the European Space Agency.
BirdsEyeView serves 30+ Lloyd's syndicates, MGAs, and broking clients across 100+ countries, with named customers including Allianz, Liberty Specialty Markets, AXA XL, Aon, Convex, and Cincinnati Financial. The company has raised three rounds of funding totalling a seven-figure sum, most recently in January 2026 from 24 Haymarket, and has achieved 200% turnover growth. It is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN: 922017) and is backed by the European Space Agency.

Target Users: Underwriters, exposure managers, brokers at insurers, reinsurers, MGAs, and Lloyd's syndicates
RAPTOR
Proprietary algorithmic underwriting engine for parametric insurance products. Processes meteorological data from the European Space Agency and NASA, using AI to structure parametric products where payouts are triggered by the weather event itself.
Key Features
- 20,000+ Monte Carlo simulations for tail-risk and freak event modelling
- ESA and NASA satellite and meteorological data feeds
- Parametric trigger structuring for event cancellation and SME weather risk
Target Users: Underwriters handling contingency, event cancellation, and parametric specialty risks
AI Data Scrubbing
Launched March 2026. Automates Statement of Values (SOV) data cleaning and geolocation for large-scale hazard modelling. Processes Excel SOV files automatically, transforming raw exposure data into modelling-ready inputs.
Key Features
- Processes up to 10,000 locations per run (scaling to 100,000 in future releases)
- Automated cleaning, standardisation, and geolocation of submitted Excel SOV files
- Developed in collaboration with insurers, brokers, and coverholders
Target Users: Insurers, brokers, and coverholders handling large-scale portfolio submissions
WEATHER ANALYTIX
Technology for contingency and event underwriting. Uses ESA meteorological data with Monte Carlo simulation to model tail-risk and extreme weather event exposure.
Key Features
- 20,000+ Monte Carlo simulations for extreme NatCat events
- Exposure analysis for contingency and event underwriting risks
- Used in production by Convex Insurance's Contingency underwriting team
Target Users: Specialty and contingency underwriters
