HOVER
One connected platform for construction and renovation projects, powered by 3D property data
Overview
HOVER is a 3D data and technology company that transforms smartphone photos of any property into an accurate, interactive 3D model with precise measurements. Founded in 2011 by A.J. Altman and Ross Hangebrauck, the company uses proprietary computer vision and deep learning technology to structure property data, enabling seamless workflows across insurance claims, underwriting, home improvement, and construction.
More than 300,000 insurance and construction professionals rely on HOVER to generate 3D property data using just smartphone photos. The platform has digitally reconstructed over 22 billion square feet of property, and is trusted by 9 of the top 10 insurance carriers. HOVER's technology eliminates the need for manual property measurements and on-site inspections, reducing claim cycle times and improving policyholder satisfaction.
HOVER has raised approximately $147 million in total funding across multiple rounds, including a $60 million Series D in November 2020 led by Travelers, State Farm Ventures, and Nationwide, which valued the company at $490 million post-money.
