“Climate risk is no longer a distant concern, it is an immediate and accelerating reality,” said Linda Coyle, Investment Manager at BEF. “Our investment in SmartResilience underscores our interest in backing scalable, technology-driven solutions that deliver strong ROI for customers and drive meaningful global impact. We are impressed with SmartResilience’s innovative approach to enabling real-time risk assessment, advanced scenario analysis and actionable decision support, empowering stakeholders to reduce losses, strengthen resilience, and drive long-term sustainability.”
Harish Pesala, Founder and CEO of SmartResilience said "We're delighted to welcome the Bayes Entrepreneurship Fund to SmartResilience's investor community. BEF brings far more than capital - their deep expertise in insurance, risk, and financial services is a natural fit for what we're building. At SmartResilience, we help organisations reduce the cost of climate-related damages, manage physical risk exposure, and build long-term resilience through practical adaptation measures. Having investors who understand the financial consequences of climate risk at a fundamental level strengthens our ability to deliver that impact at scale."
