What does it take to build a wildfire prediction model that not only outperforms physics-based approaches but also fits seamlessly into underwriting? In this episode, Matthew Grant is joined by Sarah Russell, General Manager at Bellwether – a climate-focused moonshot from Google X – to explore why wildfires are the ideal proving ground for next-generation insurance analytics.

What does it take to fundamentally rethink how specialty insurance is traded, structured and scaled? In this episode, Robin Merttens is joined by Jeff Radke, co-founder and CEO of Accelerant, for a deep dive into the mechanics of a rapidly growing risk exchange that’s quietly reshaping the MGA and MGU landscape. It has been three years since Jeff joined us on the InsTech podcast , and even Accelerant has radically evolved as a business. This isn’t, however, just another technology story. Jeff shares frank insights on building trust in a data-driven ecosystem, how Accelerant has used AI to make tangible portfolio improvements and why he believes platform-based risk trading will become the dominant model for specialty lines. Unlike many other discussions about AI in insurance, this episode focuses on what’s already working – from subrogation improvements to portfolio optimisation. There’s also a broader message here: about stepping back to see how much the market has changed and why the next evolution may already be underway… Key Talking Points Building a global risk exchange – how Accelerant connects specialty MGAs and MGUs with capacity through a single, scalable platform The value of long-term partnerships – why Accelerant provides five-year capacity commitments and expects transparency in return From niche to global – supporting 200+ underwriting teams across 20 countries and over 225 specialty products Applying AI where it matters – reducing loss ratios and boosting subrogation with machine learning and large language models Cost leadership in a softening market – why expense ratio advantage trumps rate cycles in SME and specialty risks Looking ahead – how AI is reshaping roles, workflows and the entire insurance value chain The rise of risk exchanges – why specialty insurance is following the same path as bonds, mortgages and equities Staying ahead – why Accelerant is focused on evolution, not just competition If you like what you’re hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Robin Merttens on LinkedIn .

From our highly successful webinar last month sponsored by Fathom, we bring to you everything you need to know about models in a bitesize podcast. Flood models play a critical role in helping insurers, brokers and risk managers assess flood risk, but their inherent uncertainties make effective use challenging. Matthew Grant leads a discussion with Dr. Oliver Wing, Chief Scientific Officer at Fathom, along with Caroline Fox from Guy Carpenter, Stefan Wunderlich from Swiss Re Corporate Solutions and Tom Philp, a flood risk consultant from Maximum Information. Together, they explore how flood models can be tailored to support underwriting decisions, portfolio management and risk selection. Oliver highlights the importance of understanding model uncertainty, while Caroline and Stefan share practical insights on using flood maps effectively, validating outputs and collaborating with model vendors to create actionable insights. Tom provides guidance on defining use cases to evaluate and implement models more effectively. Key talking points include: Flood models are inherently uncertain, requiring underwriters to consider the spread of possible outcomes. Tailoring model use to specific needs, like underwriting or aggregation, is essential for actionable insights. Low-hazard zones still carry risk, and misinterpretations can lead to costly surprises. Multi-model approaches can help, but deeply understanding one model’s assumptions can sometimes be more effective. Collaborating with model vendors enables better customization and decision-making.
