Insurers Can’t Predict The Next Climate Crises, But We Are Getting Close.
Wildfires, hurricanes and extreme temperatures are contributing to $2.98 trillion in losses over the past decade.
We use deep learning to deliver better protections for people and more stable returns for the insurance industry.
Kettle analyzes, holds and transfers risk to buyers who want to balance their portfolio.
How Reinsurance Works
Insurer
Customer
Insurers buy reinsurance
from Kettle.
We use our models to analyze their portfolios, and then charge them the calculated premium to reinsure their risk.
Because our models are more accurate, we can offer more competitive pricing.
KETTLE
Transfers Risk to Buyers
We transfer that risk to buyers through Kettle’s network market for capital markets, retros, and reinsurers.
We Outperform The Industry
Kettle’s proprietary machine learning algorithms use more than seven billion lines of satellite, weather, and ground truth data. These models use Swarm Neural Networks to find patterns that enable more accurate predictions, thereby reducing loss ratios.
