We’re solving a critical problem for the American homeowner - the exploding cost of homeowners insurance - specifically, for consumers in natural catastrophe heavy areas. From south Texas to woodland California to the Jersey shore, consumers are being asked to pay thousands more in insurance premiums every year. For decades, the insurance industry has met the needs of these consumers with a transaction based in PDFs and faxes, and underwriting based on anecdote and human experience. Risk isn’t priced accurately, the sale is high friction and confusing, and those who bear the risk have lost money hand over fist. This is a $30b TAM space where software can create massive value across multiple dimensions; we at Annex are building a platform connecting the dots between what’s best for consumers, insurance agents and reinsurers.
