About Canopy Weather
Our Story
Founded in 2019 by Don Giuliano and Matt Van Every, who previously co-founded Weather Fusion and sold it to CoreLogic in 2014, our company was born from a desire to go beyond providing just hail data. We aim to deliver actionable storm data that empowers decision-making across multiple industries.
Our Mission
Our focus is exclusively on weather perils that affect roofs: hail, wind, and tornadoes. Using a human-in-the-loop approach, we combine advanced technology with expert insights to ensure accuracy and reliability. Our mission is clear: to provide a forensic view of what the weather actually did, helping our clients make unbiased, consistent decisions with confidence.
Who We Serve
We primarily serve the insurance industry, working with market-leading primary insurers, reinsurers, reinsurance brokers, and MGA/MGUs. Additionally, our data supports governmental disaster response efforts, with FEMA utilizing it to trim days—even weeks—off effective tornado responses. Our impact extends to storm restoration through partnerships with our sister company Hailtrace.
Notably, FEMA uses our data in White House briefings, reinforcing the critical role we play in disaster management.
Why Canopy?
We’re passionate about understanding, at a fundamental level, how the abstract physics of weather and climate intersect with and influence day-to-day business operations. As any chef worth their salt will tell you: ingredients matter. Our solutions are made from scratch to answer the questions that matter to you most.
