## Overview

iSolvRisk is a risk management education technology startup that applies gamification to transform how individuals and organizations learn, practice, and apply risk management decision-making. Founded in 2021 by Joseph Zaarour during the pandemic, the company was built on the premise that risk education should feel like an experience rather than a lecture.

The platform makes risk management more inclusive and accessible by embedding game mechanics into educational and assessment tools. iSolvRisk targets universities, insurance industry associations, and employers seeking to engage the next generation of risk and insurance professionals -- and measure high-potential talent through competitive, performance-based formats.

After four years and over 4,500 hours of development, iSolvRisk has run 20+ Gauntlet events with a 100% repeat customer rate, demonstrating strong product-market fit with university risk management programs and industry organizations.
