## Overview

Kayrros is an environmental intelligence platform for insurance underwriting and natural catastrophe risk management. The company combines satellite Earth observation data, geospatial analytics, and machine learning to deliver asset-level risk assessments for carriers, reinsurers, and infrastructure operators across wildfire, deforestation, and energy-related exposures.

The company's core insurance offering is the Wildfire Risk Monitor, which integrates over 20 risk factors to produce pre-fire risk maps at 50-meter resolution, real-time active fire detection with multiple daily updates, and post-fire damage assessment at 10-meter resolution within days of containment. The platform supports insurance underwriting workflows through asset upload, portfolio risk scoring, and monthly data refreshes. Products are delivered via enterprise API and web-based dashboards with direct integration into underwriting and asset management systems.

Kayrros was founded in 2016 by five specialists in mathematics, AI, finance, and commodities. The company raised USD 78.6M+ across five funding rounds, including a EUR 40M Series C in March 2022 from Bpifrance, EIB, NewSpace Capital, and Opera Tech Ventures. The company operates six offices globally across Paris, New York, Houston, Singapore, London, and Bangalore, employs 150+ people from 25 nationalities, and serves 100+ enterprise customers. In May 2026, Kayrros was acquired by Energy Aspects, integrating satellite intelligence with commodity market analysis.
