WeatherBill, as featured in the Economist, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times & Newsweek is a fast-growing well-funded startup founded by ex-Google execs based in San Francisco and with a vast potential to be the next big thing in several markets particularly Travel.

We create, distribute, and automatically settle weather insurance products for consumers taking holidays. For consumers, WeatherBill weather coverage automatically pays a fixed benefit or benefit-per-day for rainfall or low-sunshine that may ruin a holiday. These pioneering ‘weather guarantees’ have been tested by travel partners and have delivered hugely exciting early results. They are ready for broader distribution throughout Europe and so we are looking to gain even faster traction.
