Target Information

Maximum Information, founded in 2020, has successfully secured a £2.3 million seed funding round, primarily led by Insurtech Gateway, with additional investments from Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, Convex, and Portfolio Ventures. The company is dedicated to enhancing global resilience against natural disasters through the development of advanced analytical tools that are vendor-agnostic and use-case centric.
