Hillridge Technology Pty Ltd is a startup aiming to disrupt the insurance industry for agriculture—a $60b industry in Australia with a history of being treated poorly by financial institutions. Our mission is to help farmers mitigate the financial impact of poor weather on their crops or livestock, in a way that goes well beyond existing crop or livestock insurance. Our project takes weather data, machine learning, mass-personalisation based on what, where and when the farmer is producing, parametric insurance and self-executing contracts based on blockchain to offer farmers greater peace of mind about the one big thing they can’t control: bad weather. The vision is to first prove the business model in Australia, and then quickly roll out to under-served markets in Asia and beyond.
