KatRisk Secures Investment from TA to Accelerate Innovation and Growth

KatRisk, a leading global catastrophe modeling software company, is pleased to announce a significant strategic growth investment from global private equity firm TA Associates (“TA”).

Founded in 2012, KatRisk is a provider of industry leading simulation software designed to quantify risk from global weather extremes, such as floods, storm surges, hurricanes, hail, wildfires and tornadoes. The Company’s innovative solutions, including SpatialKat and SoloKat, are used by some of the largest insurance, reinsurance and financial services companies around the world to assess potential catastrophe impacts.

"We couldn’t be more excited to work alongside TA to expand our product offerings and better serve our clients with additional resources,” said Dag Lohmann, CEO of KatRisk. “Our recent 5.0 release of SpatialKat covers Australia & New Zealand with TC wind, storm surge, inland flood and hail (US). We are also working to add more perils, such as wildfire & tornado, that we plan to release soon via hazard maps, APIs, our location-level loss product SoloKat, and our industry-leading SpatialKat platform. We are grateful to our clients for their continued collaboration as we begin the next chapter of our growth journey."

“TA’s investment shows deep confidence in our solutions and further validates our mission to deliver exceptional value to clients on a daily basis,” said Guy Morrow, President of KatRisk. “With TA’s support and significant experience scaling software companies, we look forward to meaningfully expanding and advancing our solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
