Podcasts about betterview

In Episode 309 of the FNO: InsureTech Podcast, hosts Rob Beller and David Prejeant welcome Chris Touchton, Chief Insurance Officer at Nearmap, for a deep dive into the evolving world of property intelligence, claims technology, and AI driven insurance innovation. Chris shares how Nearmap has transformed from an aerial imagery provider into a comprehensive property intelligence platform through strategic acquisitions and a relentless focus on data. The conversation explores Nearmap's journey from aerial imagery to AI powered property insights through the acquisition of Betterview, and later into claims through the acquisition of ITEL in May 2025. Chris explains how combining property intelligence, building material data, and advanced analytics creates a more complete picture of risk before and after a loss.  The discussion also examines the growing convergence of underwriting and claims, the importance of trusted third party data, and how AI, integrations, and ecosystem partnerships are helping insurers improve accuracy, consistency, and customer outcomes across the insurance lifecycle.  Key Highlights [05:00] Meet Chris Touchton and Nearmap Chris joins the podcast from Jacksonville, Florida and shares his role as Chief Insurance Officer at Nearmap following the integration of ITEL into the organization.

[18:00] Can Data Improve Claims Consistency? A discussion on the ongoing balance between speed and accuracy in claims and how trusted data sources can help insurers improve both.  [20:00] Becoming the Industry's Independent Source of Truth Why Nearmap and ITEL position themselves as objective third parties focused on defensible outcomes rather than influencing claim results. [23:30] Bridging the Gap Between Underwriting and Claims Chris discusses the industry's long standing challenge of connecting underwriting and claims data and why AI is creating new opportunities to finally close the gap. [26:00] Taking the Combined Vision to Market How Nearmap is helping carriers understand the value of a unified property intelligence strategy that spans the entire insurance lifecycle.  [29:00] Competing in a Crowded AI Landscape Chris shares his perspective on the explosion of insurtech vendors and why trusted relationships, innovation, and strategic acquisitions will continue to shape the market.

[41:00] The Person with the Data Wins The episode concludes with a discussion about the strategic value of proprietary data and why comprehensive property intelligence may become one of insurance's strongest competitive advantages.  Top Takeaways ✅ Nearmap's acquisitions of Betterview and ITEL represent a broader strategy to become a comprehensive property intelligence platform. ✅ Connecting underwriting and claims data remains one of the biggest opportunities in insurance.  ✅ Trust, objectivity, and consistency are becoming increasingly important as AI becomes embedded in insurance workflows.  ✅ The future of insurance will be driven by intelligent data ecosystems, strong partnerships, and integrated workflows rather than standalone tools. ✅ In a world increasingly shaped by AI, data continues to be one of the industry's most valuable assets.

Flooding continues to be the number on hazard when it comes to disasters. Knowing what area is subject to flooding before a flood, the extent of what that flood impact might be, and then knowing the status of an ongoing flood is critically important. This is the subject of this podcast.  David Tobias the podcast guest serves as the Chief Product Officer at Nearmap Previously, he co-founded Betterview, the leading Property Intelligence Platform for property and casualty insurers, which was acquired by Nearmap in December 2023. David plays a pivotal role in driving the market strategy for Nearmap, enabling users to effectively identify and mitigate risk, enhance operational efficiency, and build a more transparent customer experience.  Before founding Betterview, David was instrumental in scaling Research Specialist Incorporated, an insurance loss control company. Under his leadership, the company expanded to conduct over 30,000 inspections annually with a network of more than 500 inspectors across the United States.

Through a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision models applied to aerial imagery – and delivered through a comprehensive software solution – Nearmap changes the way insurers manage and price property risk. It earned them multiple PropertyCasualty360 Luminaries Awards, including as a company for its risk management innovation and technology innovation.  Individually, Dave Tobias, general manager of Insurance at Nearmap, was named as a risk management innovation Luminary for his leadership in creating the industry's first comprehensive property intelligence tech stack. It began with his co-founding of Betterview in 2014 to help insurers better manage risk, and over time, this effort evolved into joining forces with Nearmap in 2023.

Sensors and data-driven intelligence platforms are foundational technologies that can identify hidden dangers and help prevent losses. In this episode, Pete Miller talks with Bob Marshall, Co-Founder and CEO of Whisker Labs, and with Dave Tobias, Co-Founder and COO of Betterview, about these two different approaches.Segment 1 (00:03:08): Bob Marshall is the co-inventor of Ting, an innovative plug-in sensor that is deployed in millions of U.S. homes and helps to detect electrical issues that could cause fires. Pete and Bob discuss how tragedy led to invention, high risk of silent electrical hazards, AI-driven continuous learning, fire prevention as driver of customer loyalty, simplicity is key to adoption, and transforming insurance customer relationship.Segment 2 (00:21:49): Betterview is a property intelligence platform used by underwriters for scoring various property risks. Pete and Dave talk about Dave's lifetime in insurance, the hunt for deep and meaningful roof data, his passion for predict and prevent, scaling with technology, adapting to insurance workflows, changing the value drivers of insurance, and finding the next risk prevention opportunity.

The sheer volume of data insurers collect can make using it effectively an arduous task. But according to Dave Tobias, Betterview co-founder, and Rakesh Parikh, SVP of product development at OneShield Software, integrating the right data into the right process at the right moment is getting easier – improving speed, transparency, and the customer experience. They explain how technology plays a role in core insurance processes, such as helping underwriters make faster decisions about new policies and renewals, and where the industry is headed in the future. To learn more, hit play.

David Tobias and Gilad Shai talk about Betterview, understanding property risk, the challenges the insurance companies face, founding a startup, and generating actionable insights from data. Betterview core and super cool computer vision and AI technology is to processes property imagery from satellites, planes, and drones and provides valuable--actionable, geospatial data. The business application for insurance companies and insurance agents are in the underwriting and claims processes. These risk management and mitigation tools are desired by real estate development companies as well.https://www.betterview.com/

On this episode of FNO: InsureTech, Rob and Lee talk with David Tobias, Co-Founder & COO of Betterview. Betterview is a remote property intelligence platform that provides valuable, accurate insight around buildings and properties that are important to their clients and customers. They leverage their technology and expertise to provide risk scoring, calibration, image and coverage; property data, and much more. Join David, Rob, and Lee as they discuss: what Betterview is and what they provide to carriers and customers; Betterview’s big pivot and what became of the pivot; the shift in insurance from “repair and replace” to “predict and prevent”; the advantage of having a background in insurance and developing an insuretech solution; and much more.

David Tobias understood insurance from a young age (his Dad was in insurance and David started doing inspections before he turned 20). He also had a passion for technology (he taught himself how to code). David and his coFounder (David Lyman) saw a problem that existed in insurance, which was that roof inspections where hard, expensive, yet the desire to have that information, very useful. They also saw the potential for drone technology to be a potential solution. After their first paid gig, they saw a really big opportunity to use technology to both, acquire digital imagery, but more importantly, to scale the analytics around those digital images to help underwriters, adjusters and others obtain valuable insights on entire property exposures. Betterview exists to make every property thoroughly understood. The company does this by providing software and services to capture, organize and analyze data to unlock valuable insight. There's a really good section of the podcast where David discusses how he thought digital imagery via drones was going to be "the product". Instead, the real product is the insights that The BetterView software provides when examining the digital imagery. This is a valuable lesson for all startup founders. Your solution is likely to be a deeper and more meaningful experience than what you originally imagined. With feedback, BetterView found product/market fit. Whatever itch you, as a business, think you are scratching...keep picking...there is likely a deeper problem to solve.

I det tredje avsnittet av Sportpodcast byter vi inriktning, eller sida, från en spelares perspektiv - både Mattias Lindström och David Kryssman i avsnitt ett och två - till oddssättaren Tomas. Vad krävs för att nå det yrket? Vilken sida är egentligen roligast - mot eller med spelbolagen?

Kryssman, som inte bara har bettingvärldens kanske hetaste efternamn, utan även är assisterande fotbollstränare i Div 1-klubben Norrby och besitter ett stort intresse för betting. En synnerligen intressant kombination och många ämnen hinner betas av. Kryssman och Striker i högform - välkomna in!

I premiärprogrammet av Sportpodcast har vi ingen mindre än Helsingborgs Mattias Lindström på besök. Jag och Mattias har kommit i kontakt via Twitter och utbyter regelbundet idéer och tankar med varandra. En trevlig prick och insatt i det här med odds och spel, har jag märkt. Att få surra lite med honom om hans relation till bettingen känns därför spännande och intressant. Hur är det egentligen att vara spelare som fotbollsspelare? Den gode Lindströms fina fotbollskarriär får därför stå lite åt sidan den här gången, även om vi givetvis kommer in på den också. Häng med!
