Mark Varley, Founder and CEO: Addresscloud: Helping insurers understand geographic risk (273)

Addresscloud has grown from a team of three to a team of eleven since InsTech last spoke to Founder and CEO, Mark Varley. 

In this episode, Matthew’s discussion with Mark covers Addresscloud’s core services such as geocoding and peril risk assessment, and its recent launch of a new management platform called Addresscloud Risk. Tune in to hear more about fire blocks and how Addresscloud utilises open-data sets to simulate fire spread for insurance purposes.

Key talking points include:

• Utilizing open-data sources
• Working with serverless technology 
• Partnerships with Allied World Insurance and solving their pain points
