We, the resilience optimists

In an era of escalating catastophe risk, we believe the future of property insurance lies in understanding buildings at their core - not just as data points, but as engineered structures that each tell a unique story of resilience.

ResiQuant was born from a simple yet powerful observation: post-disaster survival of a building comes down to its specific engineering characteristics. By combining deep structural engineering expertise with advanced AI, we're uncovering these critical details at scale, revolutionizing how carriers assess and price property risk.

Working alongside underwriting teams, we empower carriers to turn engineering insights into underwriting advantage, identifying vulnerable properties before they become losses. Our platform helps teams scale their expertise across thousands of submissions without adding headcount, while transforming reinsurance discussions with validated structural data. We're not here to replace underwriter judgment - we're here to enhance it with engineering precision.

Today, we're proud to partner with forward-thinking carriers who share our vision of an insurance industry where engineering insight drives every decision. Together, we're building a more resilient future - one property at a time.

The challenge of catastrophe risk isn't just about better data - it's about better understanding. That's why we're here.

Scientific Truth

We believe data and engineering should drive decisions. No shortcuts, no black boxes - we're building technology grounded in structural science and real-world disaster data. When we find something that works, we prove it. When something doesn't, we say so.
