About WeatherBill
• from The New York Times “WeatherBill, a start-up that turns global warming from a threat into a business opportunity, on Wednesday captured a $12.5 million first round of funding.”
• from The Economist. “WeatherBill, an online venture launched last year, allows companies and individuals to weatherproof revenues”
• from Financial Times “Weather is rapidly becoming the centre of the one of the most attractive sectors in the financial markets. Increasing volatility in the weather is helping to fuel the trading of related derivatives, or futures contracts that allow investors to bet on or hedge against fluctuations in the weather.”
• from Reuters “Insuring against weather-related calamity in this era of global warming might seem the work of bean counters and actuaries. But a study by WeatherBill, an Internet firm offering weather-related risk cover for individuals, as well as companies and governments, says the global economy could expand by up to $258 billion if such contracts were more widely purchased."
• from Washington Post & Tech Crunch. “The insurance is being provided through WeatherBill, a weather-related startup founded by ex-Googler David Friedberg in early 2007.”
• from Newsweek "The idea of insuring vacationers against bad weather seems so compelling that in June the online travel company Priceline utilized a WeatherBill contract to offer a promotion called Sunshine Guaranteed. Under its terms, customers who booked a vacation during certain dates received a refund of airfare, hotel and rental-car costs if it rained more than one-half inch during at least half the days of the trip."
• from Rough Notes. “[WeatherBill] provides the only online service that allows businesses to protect revenue and/or control costs associated with the adverse effects from weather. Further, it democratizes weather protection, by giving customers the power to create and implement weather coverage when and where they need it, based on the specific type of ‘bad weather’ protection they need.”
