Stand, an insurance startup, aims to help California homeowners in high-risk wildfire areas by promoting retrofitting and resilient design changes. The CEO emphasizes that making certain adjustments, such as using tempered glass and fire-resistant materials, can protect homes from nearby wildfires. In densely packed neighborhoods, these measures are crucial for preventing the spread of fire and safeguarding properties. Stand's approach not only addresses immediate safety concerns but also seeks to stabilize the state's insurance market by making high-risk homes insurable again.
In any window that's facing anything burning, one of the biggest risk points is that the glass will break from the heat, and then embers will fall inside.
We believe that by making targeted design changes, homes can become resilient enough that they're feasible to insure.
