ResiQuant Announces Partnership with Golden Bear Insurance Company

March 14, 2025

San Francisco, CA – March 14, 2025 – We’re excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Golden Bear Insurance Company, a leading provider of commercial property & earthquake, primary & excess casualty, and professional liability across the country. By adopting our AI-driven property intelligence platform, Golden Bear is taking a bold step toward underwriting with unparalleled clarity, even in regions most vulnerable to natural disasters.

"ResiQuant is transforming how we process submissions, delivering risk-specific engineering insights at remarkable speed,” said Michael Brown, VP of Property at Golden Bear Insurance Company. “This is helping our underwriters better understand each risk, set pricing based on robust and specific risk data, and write CAT exposed business with greater confidence based on better information."

ResiQuant’s platform blends AI, computer vision, and structural engineering expertise to spot hidden vulnerabilities before they become costly claims. Our system automates detailed risk evaluations—identifying everything from soft-story construction to inadequate retrofits—while cutting underwriting time from hours (and in many cases, days) to minutes.



From our early days at Stanford University’s John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering Center, ResiQuant's co-founders have focused on bridging academic insights with real-world application.

“Our partnership with Golden Bear exemplifies how carriers can leverage engineering-level precision at scale, effectively turning today’s risk into tomorrow’s opportunity,” says Francisco, who leads our product and engineering teams. “We’re excited to see them use our technology to empower their underwriters and customers alike.”

As disaster events become more frequent and severe, agile, data-driven approaches to underwriting are essential. Golden Bear’s use of ResiQuant demonstrates that carriers can thrive—even in challenging regions—when armed with a holistic view of building vulnerabilities.

For us, it’s a testament to the transformative power of AI when thoughtfully integrated with structural engineering. It’s also an affirmation of our guiding purpose: enhancing market stability and helping communities bounce back faster, with fewer losses. We look forward to growing this partnership with Golden Bear, innovating side by side, and continuing to prove that where there’s clarity in risk, there’s potential for sustainable coverage—no matter how unpredictable the world may be.
