NimbusPay

A parametric weather insurance platform that pays automatically when weather crosses thresholds.

InsurTech Parametric Insurance Embedded Coverage
The Problem

Weather ruins experiences.
Traditional insurance ignores them.

You booked the festival. You flew to Ibiza. You paid โ‚ฌ500 for a table at Oktoberfest. Then the rain came. The event still happened โ€” you still attended โ€” but the experience was diminished. And no insurance policy covers that.

The Solution

When the cloud arrives,
the payout follows.

NimbusPay is a parametric weather insurance platform embedded directly into event booking checkouts. When observable weather crosses predefined thresholds, payouts fire automatically โ€” no claims, no adjusters, no waiting.

How It Works

Embedded at the point of sale.

๐ŸŒ

1. Scrape Event Metadata

User pastes a booking URL. Playwright extracts event name, date, location, and coordinates via JSON-LD โ†’ OpenGraph โ†’ DOM fallback.

๐ŸŒค๏ธ

2. Fetch Weather Forecast

Open-Meteo API returns live hourly forecasts (temperature, precipitation, wind) for the event's geofenced coordinates.

๐Ÿงฎ

3. Underwrite Premium

Deterministic engine calculates EUR premium: base rate ร— seasonal multiplier ร— location factor ร— weather factor + โ‚ฌ2.50 fee.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

4. Purchase Guarantee

User toggles coverage on at checkout. Guarantee is created with parametric trigger rules and a daily reimbursement cap.

โš™๏ธ

5. Hourly Parametric Engine

APScheduler evaluates active guarantees every UTC hour against live weather observations. If thresholds breach, claims create themselves.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

6. Automated Payout

No claims forms. No adjusters. The trigger IS the claim. Payout = daily cap, stamped with UTC timestamp, logged to admin dashboard.

Built for speed, transparency,
and zero-friction deployment.

B2B2C Embedded Distribution

NimbusPay embeds directly into OTA and ticketing checkout flows (Chinois Ibiza, Oktoberfest-Booking, festivals). Zero customer acquisition cost โ€” the distribution IS the platform.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Per-Policy Premium Revenue

Revenue = premium per guarantee sold. Average premium: โ‚ฌ5โ€“โ‚ฌ25 per event. Target attach rate: 15โ€“25% of booking checkouts.

๐Ÿ“Š

Deterministic Pricing Engine

Premiums calculated via transparent formula: base rate ร— seasonal ร— location ร— weather factor + fixed fee. No black-box AI. No underwriter discretion.

Product Roadmap

From prototype to platform.

โœ“ Phase 1
Prototype Validated
5-step wizard, real Open-Meteo integration, deterministic underwriting, parametric simulation engine, admin dashboard. Live on HuggingFace Spaces.
โ†’ Phase 2
Embedded Checkouts
URL-based event scraping, embedded checkout widgets for partner platforms (Chinois Ibiza, Oktoberfest), push notifications + email receipts, historical likelihood scoring.
Phase 3
Production Stack
FastAPI + Postgres + Celery + Redis. Real payment rails (Stripe/SEPA). Partner API for OTA integration. Multi-risk bundling (rain + cold + wind in one policy).
Phase 4
Platform Scale
EU-wide market expansion. Additional perils (snow, heat, UV). B2B API for insurers. Historical backtest calibration. Regulatory licensing (BaFin/ACPR).
