Overview

Canopy Weather is a weather analytics platform for the property and casualty insurance sector, serving primary carriers, reinsurers, MGAs/MGUs, and government agencies. The company was founded in 2019 by Don Giuliano and Matt Van Every, who previously co-founded Weather Fusion and sold it to CoreLogic in 2014.

The platform delivers forensic-level hail, wind, and tornado data through a REST API, peril maps, historical weather reports, and proprietary damage scoring. Canopy Weather uses multi-source data aggregation combined with human expert review to produce verification-grade storm documentation. Products integrate with carrier claims management systems and underwriting tools, including Duck Creek and Guidewire, enabling automated decisioning and adjuster dispatch workflows.

The company has documented partnerships with more than a dozen insurance organizations, including Amica Mutual, Brotherhood Mutual, Juniper Re, BMS Re, Acrisure, and FEMA, which uses Canopy Weather tornado path intelligence for disaster response. Canopy Weather is backed by Infinity Ventures and Foundation Capital through a Series A round.
