Insurance provider for catastrophe regions, protecting people's homes through coverage and risk mitigation.
Delos Insurance Solutions, a pioneering Managing General Agent (MGA), is at the forefront of transforming property insurance in climate-affected regions. Delos is currently active in California, writing policies in areas that other insurance providers are avoiding for wildfire exposure. Traditional insurance models have proven inadequate in an era marked by the impacts of climate change. Delos has embarked on a groundbreaking approach, integrating climate and catastrophe modeling expertise at every level of an insurance provider. Delos' innovative programs leverage proprietary AI risk models (patented) developed by world-renowned professors within our team. Beginning with wildfire risk, these models have consistently outperformed industry standards, allowing Delos to underwrite policies profitably in areas where legacy carriers are swiftly withdrawing. This enables Delos to provide insurance coverage to millions of homes that would otherwise have limited options.
