📢 Announcing OpenSpace and Shepherd Savings Today we’re expanding the Shepherd Savings program to include premium savings for OpenSpace customers currently using the platform or considering on their next project. Construction insurance providers have long talked about the value of technology but inevitably failed to quantify it into proposals. We know why: building a novel underwriting approach requires an enormous effort into data infrastructure, actuarial analysis, and more. That's why we started Shepherd and now we're leading the charge to change this paradigm. OpenSpace is the category leader in Reality Capture technology, used by thousands of builders across the US. This partnership will reward existing customers with upfront premium savings, or incentivize clients to purchase an OpenSpace license for the first time -- putting the necessary dollars back in their pockets to make these investments. Together, we're providing clients with real-time feedback on how to leverage this technology for superior claims reduction. 👉 I wrote longer form about the next phase of this partnership.

Excited to update that Shepherd is approved to support contractor programs and large projects in Texas, Florida, Massachusetts, and more. Shoutout to the incredible work by our very own Tully Evangelis and Sasha Wiegand, FCAS, MAAA who have tirelessly led the charge from 0 to 48 state approvals in less than 6 months. No small feat. Finally - thank you to our friends and partners at Core Specialty Insurance Holdings, Inc. for making this program a reality.

A benefit program that provides upfront premium savings and ongoing insights into behaviors that drive superior claims outcomes.    > Why it matters?

The core thesis of Shepherd is that contractors who invest in technology are better risks. Frankly, it's the reason we exist. We've spent the last two years studying that hypothesis and are finally ready to start sharing the results. Spoiler 🚨: the outcomes are even better than we expected! Thrilled to be co-hosting this webinar with our good friends at Procore Technologies and our very own Head Actuary Sasha Wiegand, FCAS, MAAA 👉 Registration link: https://lnkd.in/gvrw2Vp6
