AMA w/ William Steenbergen, Co-Founder & CTO, Federato

​Learn from and engage with William Steenbergen, Co-Founder & CTO of Silicon Valley-based Federato. The event will be hosted by ASIF Ventures—in collaboration with DutchTechInc.

​We presented for Lean Launchpad and horribly failed because we didn’t understand the market. We did our work, and the initial judges of Lean Launchpad later became our first investors.

​About Federato
Insurance companies are struggling to manage risk as natural catastrophes continue to grow in volume and severity. Reinsurance is no longer a reliable backstop, with some of the largest insurers taking $600 million-plus single-quarter losses net of reinsurance. 

​Federato is building an underwriter workflow that uses dynamic optimization across the portfolio to steer underwriters to a better portfolio balance. The software ostensibly lets actuaries and portfolio analysts drive high-level risk analysis into the hands of underwriters on the front lines to help them understand the “next best action” at a given point in time.

​William and his Co-Founder, Will Ross, participated in the Pear VC accelerator program in 2020 and raised funding from multiple (undisclosed) top-tier Silicon Valley VCs. William graduated from Erasmus School of Economics, and Stanford University with a master's degree in computational & mathematical engineering.
