We’re covering two main themes here – building a business that survives and thrives after ten years – and assessing the growing risk from a flood.
We’ve been working closely with Fathom for many years.
In Matthew Grant’s discussion with the co-founders of Fathom, you’ll discover topics such as:
- The advantages of building a business with close links to a university
- How increases in the resolution of data and increased computing power have fundamentally changed flood modelling in 10 years
- Why and when co-founders should bring in an external CEO
- Why insurers are better at understanding risk than many other industries
- How to represent uncertainty in decision making
- River gauges and aerial images – creating credible data sources to plug the information gaps
- Working with partners such as Reask
If you enjoyed this, we recommend Episode 220 for more information about Fathom, Reask and climate assessment.
