BirdsEyeView, the European Space Agency-backed insurtech specialising in natural catastrophe modelling and exposure management, has secured an undisclosed seven-figure investment to support continued international expansion and product development. This funding round is led by venture and growth equity fund 24 Haymarket, alongside further investment from all existing investors, and follows a period of 200% growth in turnover and recent expansion into the US and Australian markets. BirdsEyeView counts Convex and Cincinnati Financial among its growing roster of headline clients. The investment will be used to accelerate development of BirdsEyeView’s machine learning-driven wildfire model, expand its team of PhD-level scientists and climate specialists, and scale commercial operations across North America and Australia.

Wildfire risk is evolving rapidly as climate change drives severe fire activity into regions not historically considered high risk. BirdsEyeView believes many legacy wildfire models fail to reflect the pace and scale of these changes, basing their models on outdated historical data, reinforcing the need for more adaptive, live data-driven approach to wildfire risk assessment.

James Rendell, CEO and founder of BirdsEyeView, said: “Throughout 2025, we established ourselves as a trusted natural catastrophe and hazard modelling partner across Lloyd’s and the Australian and Canadian Coverholder market. This investment allows us to build on that momentum. Advances in AI are transforming hazard modelling, particularly by automating time-consuming data preparation processes that underpin model accuracy. This enables teams to focus on higher-value scientific analysis, while ensuring models evolve in line with new data, emerging risks, and a rapidly changing climate.”

Jamie Dunnett, Investment Director at 24 Haymarket, added: “We are delighted to partner with James and the BirdsEyeView team to support the company's ambitious growth plans. We’ve been really impressed with how James has gone about building the business and are excited to see where this investment can take them – in terms of reenforcing the company’s position in the Contingency market and replicating that success in other lines of business, like Property. The Company has made excellent progress since our investment completed last August, and we are well positioned for a big 2026.”

BirdsEyeView’s platform combines high-resolution satellite data with advanced AI analytics to deliver real- time risk assessment and live portfolio exposure management at an underwriter’s desktop.

BirdsEyeView is trusted by more than 20 leading insurers, brokers, and MGAs globally, including Allianz, Liberty Specialty Markets, AXA XL, HDI, and Aon.
