BirdsEyeView, a European Space Agency-backed InsurTech, has secured an undisclosed seven-figure investment to support international expansion and accelerate development of its wildfire risk modelling capabilities.
The funding will be used to scale operations across new markets while strengthening the company’s machine learning-driven natural catastrophe models.
The investment round was led by venture and growth equity fund 24 Haymarket, with further participation from all existing investors.
The raise follows a period of strong momentum for the InsurTech, including 200% growth in turnover and recent expansion into the US and Australian markets.
BirdsEyeView plans to use the capital to accelerate development of its wildfire model, expand its team of PhD-level scientists and climate specialists, and scale its commercial presence across North America and Australia. The company said these investments are intended to support insurers as wildfire risk evolves beyond traditionally high-risk regions.
Wildfire exposure is changing rapidly as climate change drives more frequent and severe events across new geographies. BirdsEyeView argues that many legacy wildfire models rely heavily on historical datasets that struggle to reflect the speed and scale of these changes, increasing the need for more adaptive, live data-driven approaches to risk assessment.
BirdsEyeView’s platform combines high-resolution satellite data with advanced AI analytics to deliver real-time risk assessment and live portfolio exposure management at an underwriter’s desktop.
The company’s technology is designed to enhance pricing accuracy and support forecasted loss reporting by enabling carriers to monitor portfolio aggregations in real time. BirdsEyeView is currently trusted by more than 20 insurers, brokers and MGAs globally, including Allianz, Liberty Specialty Markets, AXA XL, HDI and Aon, and counts Convex and Cincinnati Financial among its headline clients.
The latest funding is intended to help BirdsEyeView build on its position within catastrophe and hazard modelling while expanding into adjacent lines of business and geographies. The company said it will continue to focus on delivering models that evolve in line with new data and emerging climate-driven risks.
BirdsEyeView CEO and founder James Rendell said: “Throughout 2025, we established ourselves as a trusted natural catastrophe and hazard modelling partner across Lloyd’s and the Australian and Canadian Coverholder market. This investment allows us to build on that momentum.
“Advances in AI are transforming hazard modelling, particularly by automating time-consuming data preparation processes that underpin model accuracy. This enables teams to focus on higher-value scientific analysis, while ensuring models evolve in line with new data, emerging risks, and a rapidly changing climate.”
24 Haymarket investment director Jamie Dunnett said: “We are delighted to partner with James and the BirdsEyeView team to support the company’s ambitious growth plans. We’ve been really impressed with how James has gone about building the business and are excited to see where this investment can take them – in terms of reinforcing the company’s position in the Contingency market and replicating that success in other lines of business, like Property. The Company has made excellent progress since our investment completed last August, and we are well-positioned for a big 2026.”
