WorldCover is insuring small businesses around the world against the effects of climate change, a $160 billion opportunity as estimated by Lloyd’s. We have launched drought insurance products for agribusinesses in West and East Africa and are planning expansion and partnerships in India, Latin America, and southeast Asia.

Our technology allows us to instantly price and issue crop insurance policies to small farmers, anywhere within our markets. Our models are built with proprietary data and predict events that cause crop failures. We issue simple yet customized policies using mobile phones and digital money, which significantly reduces costs.

We are founded by MIT computer scientists and ex-hedge fund traders, and our leadership team hails from Uber, KPMG, Gates Foundation, and World Bank. We are backed by Y Combinator among other world class investors.
