Start up perspective
In this InsTech panel session, Paige Roepers, CEO & Co-Founder of Ocean Ledger, explains how start-ups are reshaping catastrophe modelling by integrating environmental data, coastal ecosystems and natural defences into how we define vulnerability.
Unlike traditional models focused on hazards, this approach captures what’s often missing: how coastlines shift, how natural protections erode and where elevation loss increases exposure. The session explores how this science-first perspective opens up new modelling use cases across insurance, lending and capital markets.
What you’ll learn:
- What’s missing from many catastrophe models
- How ecosystem data improves surge and vulnerability modelling
- What scientific start-ups bring to the insurance market
- Why integration and transparency are key to adoption
- Lessons from Ocean Ledger’s journey through Lloyd’s Lab
Speakers:
- Paige Roepers – CEO & Co-Founder, Ocean Ledger
- Harry Vardigans – Head of Insurance, Fathom
