KatRisk Announcing Acquisition of Gamma, Expanding Cutting Edge Capabilities in Location Intelligence and Property Risk Assessment

KatRisk, the leading provider of catastrophic risk modeling software to the insurance and financial services industries, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Gamma, a pioneering company in location intelligence and property-level risk assessment. This strategic move bolsters KatRisk’s expertise in risk analytics, enabling the delivery of more precise insights and next-generation technologies that drive smarter decisions.

Established in Dublin, Gamma has built a reputation for delivering trusted property-level risk data. Its flagship platform, Perilfinder™, is a widely recognised address-level risk assessment, exposure management, and underwriting solution developed in partnership with some of the world’s largest general insurers.

With this acquisition, KatRisk will integrate Gamma’s expertise in property-level visualisation, providing clients with intuitive map-based risk insights, dynamic dashboards, and enhanced spatial analytics. The ability to visualise risk at the property level, from flood, wind, and wildfire exposure to other peril data, will provide insurers with unparalleled clarity in risk selection and portfolio management.

“Our acquisition of Gamma is a major step forward in our mission to provide the most comprehensive, high-resolution risk data available,” said Brandon Katz, EVP of Strategy at KatRisk. “By combining our catastrophic risk models across floods, storms, and fire with Gamma’s location intelligence capabilities, we will deliver an even more powerful suite of tools that improves risk selection, reduces loss ratios, and enhances underwriting efficiency.”

“The combination of Gamma and KatRisk represents an exciting opportunity for our customers and partners,” said Feargal O’Neill, CEO of Gamma. “Joining KatRisk gives us access to the world’s leading catastrophe modelers, while opening global markets for Perilfinder™. Together, our combined strengths in catastrophe modeling and location intelligence will empower insurers and underwriters to make smarter, faster risk decisions with greater confidence.”

The acquisition of Gamma reinforces KatRisk’s commitment to advancing innovation, deepening technical expertise, expanding global reach, and solidifying its position as a market leader in catastrophe and property risk analytics. Together, KatRisk and Gamma bring proven capabilities across continents, with a strong track record in North America and Europe.

This milestone builds on the strategic backing of KatRisk and its parent company, Technosylva, by TA Associates and General Atlantic BeyondNetZero, reflecting a shared commitment to delivering scalable, data-driven climate resilience solutions.
