Flood insurance firm finds positives, negatives in storm's aftermath

As the state and country tried to process the destruction of Hurricane Ian in the immediate aftermath of the storm’s trek across Florida, Trevor Burgess, CEO of Neptune Flood, was a popular interviewee. He made appearances on CBS News’ national morning newscast and WFLA, NBC’s local affiliate in Tampa, in addition to being quoted in the Wall Street Journal, among other publications. 

Founded in 2018, Neptune Flood is an insurtech company specializing in a tech-driven approach to selling flood insurance policies. It does business in 48 states and Washington, D.C., and earlier this year surpassed 100,000 policies. Burgess expects that number to rise to 150,000 by the end of 2022.
