insurance needs based on Hedgefy's standardized parametric
conditions (e.g., rain(flood), snow, covid, wind(hurricane) on
any GPS coordindates).

models to risk coverers (insurance sellers) so that more
sellers can participate even without their own underwriting
capacity.

insurance sellers, which will bring benefit to insurance
buyers through lower pricing. All the transactions are
