The latest confirmed round was a ~$878k Series B led by FinTLV in July 2019.

No ongoing public deal flow, placed limit, transacted premium or named cedent list has been published — the opposite of Tremor, whose ~$278m cumulative premium and named cedents (W. R.

Engaging FloodFlash means buying parametric flood capacity (post-February 2025, under the NormanMax Insurance Holdings umbrella and Syndicate 3939) or placing business through FloodFlash as a coverholder. The ultrasonic sensor, the mobile-network telemetry, the trigger-calculation logic, and the rapid-settlement workflow are bundled with the policy; they are not sold as a standalone underwriting workstation, pricing engine, or IoT feed that a third-party flood carrier can deploy inside its own environment.","source":"https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/international/2025/02/26/813472.htm"},{"text":"The policy pays on an index trigger — floodwater reaching a pre-agreed depth at the sensor location — not on measured property loss. Basis risk (the gap between the fixed payout and the actual cost of flood damage, business interruption, and stock loss) is structural to the product form. A deep flood that damages a building but fails to reach the contracted trigger depth produces no payout; a shallow flood that meets the trigger but causes limited damage produces a full payout. FloodFlash positions the product for rapid post-event liquidity and cover where traditional indemnity flood is unavailable or uneconomic, not as a like-for-like replacement for indemnity cover.","source":"https://floodflash.co/floodflash-sensor-everything-you-need-to-know/"},{"text":"The product depends on physical sensor installation and continuous connectivity. The ultrasonic depth sensor is fitted outside the insured premises, runs on a long-life battery (12-year design life) and reports via mobile network. Coverage is therefore gated on successful site survey, sensor installation, and network reachability — constraints that do not apply to traditional indemnity flood cover and that make the product more operationally intensive to bind than a typical commercial policy.","source":"https://floodflash.co/made-to-measure-why-floodflash-chose-iot-sensors-to-power-our-parametric-cover/"},{"text":"Total disclosed venture funding is modest by insurtech standards — roughly $23M cumulative across a £1.9M seed (August 2018) and a $15M Series A (February 2022), with no priced growth round announced before the NormanMax acquisition.
