Jonathan Gonzalez: Co-founder & CEO, Raincoat: Enabling parametric protection that scales (268)


Listen Later

What does parametric insurance mean to Jonathan Gonzalez, Co-founder and CEO of Raincoat? 

Raincoat is a technology company that works with brokers and insurers to develop and distribute parametric climate insurance for consumers in at-risk regions. The company is involved in parametric schemes around the world and aims to extend parametric protection to those exposed to disasters globally. 

In this week’s podcast Jonathan speaks to InsTech’s Henry Gale, to discuss how Raincoat has expanded since the last podcast, and asks us to consider whether parametric insurance will ever simply be known as “insurance”?

Talking points include:

  • Lessons from operating parametric programmes where pay-outs were triggered
  • Why parametric insurance is relevant across the world
  • Raincoat’s approach to collaboration with brokers, insurers and distribution partners
  • How parametric insurance is a “tool”
  • Consumer attitudes to parametric
  • How will the category of “parametrics” evolve in the future?
  • To continue learning about the parametric insurance market, download our report "Parametric Insurance in 2022: the 150+ Companies to Watch".
