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?
