BirdsEyeView secures further seven-figure investment to enhance the accuracy of climate hazard modelling
London, UK, 14th January 2026: BirdsEyeView (BEV) is a European Space Agency-backed Insurtech providing global multi-peril Natural Catastrophe Modelling and Exposure Management software for (re)insurers, MGAs, and brokers, has closed an investment round led by the Venture & Growth Equity fund 24Haymarket, along with reinvestment from all existing investors, including the European Space Agency and ACF Investors. This latest investment, for an undisclosed seven-figure sum, will be used for product development, expanding BirdsEyeView’s team of climate scientists and scaling the business into new regions .
Across the globe, wildfires are becoming larger, more frequent, and more severe, posing a growing threat to communities and ecosystems. The California wildfires in January 2025, which resulted in $40bn in insured losses, demonstrate how climate change is pushing extreme risk into areas that have not historically been considered hazardous.
Existing wildfire and climate models available in the insurance market underrepresent the scale and pace of these changes. BirdsEyeView’s WEATHER ANALYTIX™ technology combines large historical climate, weather, and catastrophe datasets with probabilistic modelling to estimate the likelihood and severity of events such as wildfire. By automating manual, time-consuming data-cleaning processes that often hinder hazard modelling accuracy, BirdsEyeView’s machine learning-driven technology enables teams to access consistent, location-based climate risk insights to support more accurate underwriting.
The company recently released its ‘Machine Learning Australian Bushfire model’. Trained on 300 billion data points and 7,000 days of satellite imagery, the model delivers street-level resolution for localised risk assessments. By providing a realistic representation of modern bushfire dynamics, BirdsEyeView’s model enables insurers to make more precise and data-driven underwriting decisions.
The investment comes after 200% turnover growth and recent expansion into the US and Australia, with headline clients including Convex and Cincinnati Financial. The new funding will expand the team of PhDs and climate scientists to strengthen the company’s expertise in wildfire and border climate modelling.
James Rendell, CEO and Founder of BirdsEyeView: “Throughout 2025, we firmly established our presence in the Lloyd’s and Coverholder markets as a trusted provider of natural catastrophe and hazard modelling software. As BirdsEyeView enters a new, exciting phase, we are committed to refining our models to capture emerging risks and the realities of a rapidly evolving climate. We look forward to working with our investors and clients on the next phase of our growth.”
Tim Mills, Managing Partner, ACF Investors: “The BirdsEyeView technology bridges the gap between technical climate science and insurance underwriting. James and the team are building innovative solutions that are helping improve disaster preparedness and address the challenges posed by climate-induced risks. We are thrilled to continue our investment in the team and support them through their next phase of growth.”
