Director, Client Development

Capeanalytics in Palo Alto, CA/Remote

CAPE Analytics provides instant property intelligence for buildings across the United States. CAPE Analytics enables insurers and other property stakeholders to access valuable property attributes at time of underwriting, with the accuracy and detail that traditionally required an on-site inspection, but with the speed and coverage of property record pre-fill. Founded in 2014, CAPE Analytics is backed by leading venture firms and innovative insurers and is comprised of computer vision, data science, and risk analysis experts.
