Catastrophe insurance

[edit]

Bartholomew previously worked on catastrophe modelling at Risk Management Solutions (RMS), which developed a parametric insurance model for New York City after Hurricane Sandy. In 2017, Bartholomew co-founded FloodFlash, a London-based flood insurance provider which pays out on a parametric basis (if water levels exceed a pre-agreed threshold according to an installed sensor) rather than on an assessment of damages.[5]
