Green Shield Risk Solutions

Making the world more insurable

Specialty Solutions Growth Series B

Overview

Green Shield Risk Solutions is a specialty insurance services company focused on catastrophe risk management, particularly for wildfire-exposed properties. Founded by Patrick Blandford, former CEO of Tokio Marine Highland, the company provides innovative insurance solutions for high-risk properties where traditional carriers have pulled out, ensuring homeowners and agents have access to coverage when others decline.

The company combines proprietary underwriting analytics, expert risk evaluation, and active risk mitigation through its Property Guardian platform. Green Shield's approach identifies strong properties, helps owners harden them further, and enables coverage through ongoing threat monitoring. Their mission is to insure homes worth saving and help make more homes insurable.

Green Shield has raised $18.62M in funding through Series B, backed by investors including InsurTech NY and Bindley Capital Partners. The company serves homeowners in wildfire-prone areas, retail agents, wholesale brokers, and carriers seeking specialty catastrophe programs.
