Our take
hyperexponential was created to provide modelling software to help people and businesses build, deploy and manage analytical models that work with small, sparse and fragmented datasets. Its goal is to make teams more agile, collaborate more deeply, and work more productively.
hyperexponential's pricing and data-driven decision-making software is built for the speciality and commercial insurance markets. The product has broad applications, but the company's initial focus is on speciality insurance, a sector the founders know well, having worked there for more than a decade.
hyperexponential currently works with 13 of the largest insurers in Europe and is growing fast. In addition, the company launched Renew Connect, a partnership programme which offers integrations between all the best-of-breed solutions for insurers like Insurdata and Inari, and ensures the data flows freely and consistently between them.
