Community Led Innovation

Communities are the insurers of last resort, bearing the direct burden of catastrophes and the absence of proactive decarbonization efforts. The well-being of their residents, the stability of home values, and the health of their tax bases are all intrinsically linked to effective local climate risk management.

InnSure partners with communities to close protection gaps by addressing their unique risk requirements. Our community partners serve as vital test beds for the innovations we foster, enabling innovators to leverage real-world pilot environments. This collaborative approach amplifies and accelerates the development of solutions, allowing communities to actively shape local insurance markets to meet their needs.

Solution Incubation & Acceleration

We close climate-driven protection gaps by accelerating the launch and scaling of innovative products and services that address the most pressing climate risk financing challenges faced by communities.

Our unique approach embeds incubation and acceleration services within an ecosystem of interconnected networks of communities, organizations, institutions, resources, and relationships that collectively support and enable insurability focused entrepreneurship.
