Rachel Olney: Founder & CEO, Geosite: Your gateway to global geospatial data (235)

With so much data now available from above us and around us to help understand properties, how should insurers, governments and others know which is the most reliable to use - and importantly - how to deal with the uncertainty and sometimes conflicting opinions?

This week Matthew Grant is talking to Rachel Olney, Founder and CEO of Geosite. Join us to discover:

• The key problem Geosite is solving for insurers and others
• How Rachel discovered that insurance offered the biggest opportunity to launch a new business
• Lessons from working with the US Department of Defense
• Why does “accuracy” mean different things when identifying building locations depending on the hazard?
• What are the top three attributes founders need to be successful?
