Today @standinsurance announced $70M at a $1B valuation, led by @Saga_Ventures. A year ago, we insured $1B of property. Today it's $10B. Disasters follow the laws of physics. Insurance should too. Here's what our team is building:

I'm proud to announce that we just closed Inspired Capital Fund IV at $450M. At @InspiredCap, we get in the boat and go to war with our founders until they win, pulling out all the stops to help them achieve their life's work. This new capital affords us the opportunity to invest more of our time partnering with the world's most ambitious early-stage founders.

Seven plus years into Inspired, the results are starting to compound: our company partnerships now include 10 unicorns and 10 companies that have scaled past $100 million in annual revenue. We know many more will join those ranks in the coming years and we are excited to welcome more amazing founders to Inspired with this new fund.

To every founder I have the privilege to work with, thank you for trusting us to be partners to your company, through both the good days and the tough ones. You're the reason I am addicted to this work.

And we're just getting started.

Bill and the Convective team are building a special kind of investment firm - and backing what will become the world’s most important companies in resilience.

The world is getting warmer while our infrastructure gets older: a recipe for disasters.

We’re excited to announce Fund II: $85M for early stage investments in disaster resilience.

Introducing Stand’s World Model, a physics-native frontier model for the built environment. This is how we help the world survive catastrophe: by computing how physical force acts on a structure, protecting property from fire, wind, flood, or earthquake.
