## Overview

SkyWatch.AI is the leading commercial drone insurance provider in the United States and Canada, offering flexible on-demand, monthly, and annual coverage for drone and light aircraft operators. Founded in 2016 by Tomer Kashi and Ori Blumenthal, the company began as a risk assessment project designed to evaluate drone flight safety and generate safety scores before pivoting to insurance.

The company has sold more than 200,000 policies and maintains a 5-star rating on Google Reviews. SkyWatch is powered by VOOM Insurance, an insurtech company specializing in usage-based insurance for the mobility sector, with offices in Tel Aviv, Israel and Palo Alto, California.

SkyWatch's proprietary risk detection algorithms enable usage-based pricing where safer pilots pay less, with discounts up to 50% based on Safety Score and Insurance Experience. The company is backed by F2 Capital, Verizon Ventures, Kaedan Capital, and former executives from major insurers including AXA and Liberty Mutual.
