3D Property Measurement from Smartphone Photos
Hover raised 30M+ (Google Ventures) for AI-powered 3D property measurement from smartphone photos, eliminating manual measurement for insurance adjusters and roofing contractors.
Hover is an AI-powered property measurement and 3D visualization company that generates precise building measurements and a photorealistic 3D model of a property from a set of smartphone photos taken by walking around the structure, enabling insurance adjusters, roofing contractors, and exterior remodelers to get accurate measurements and visualize renovation options without manual measurement or ladder work. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Hover has raised more than $130 million from investors including Google Ventures and has built partnerships with major insurance carriers and leading home improvement retailers and manufacturers. The company's technology converts standard smartphone photos into a dimensionally accurate 3D model within minutes.\n\nHover's measurement platform delivers roof measurements including area, pitch, and facet dimensions; wall measurements for siding and paint projects; window and door openings; and total exterior surface areas — all generated by AI from smartphone photos rather than requiring aerial imagery subscriptions or professional measurement tools. The 3D visualization capability allows homeowners and contractors to see virtual renderings of different roofing materials, siding colors, and exterior finishes on the actual property, enabling visual selling that has been shown to increase homeowner confidence in purchase decisions and average job values. Integration with contractor estimating software populates measurements automatically into estimates.\n\nHover competes with EagleView and Nearmap in the property measurement space, though Hover's smartphone-photo approach differs from aerial imagery in that it provides a more detailed 3D model and visualization capability. The company serves roofing, siding, and exterior remodeling contractors, insurance carriers for claims and underwriting, and home improvement product manufacturers and retailers seeking to drive product selection through visualization.
AI quality assurance with insurance-backed warranties from Swiss Re and Greenlight Re; EU AI Act compliance assessments backed by YC and reinsurance partners for high-risk AI deployments.
Armilla AI is a third-party AI quality assurance and warranty company that evaluates AI models for organizations deploying AI in regulated or high-stakes contexts — assessing models against EU AI Act and NIST AI Risk Management Framework requirements for risks including bias, hallucination, robustness failures, and adversarial vulnerabilities, then providing performance guarantees backed by insurance coverage from reinsurers Swiss Re, Greenlight Re, and Chaucer. Founded in Toronto, Canada, Armilla raised $6.81 million total including a C$4.5 million seed round in February 2024 from Mistral Venture Partners, MS&AD Ventures, Y Combinator, and its reinsurance partners.\n\nArmilla's model is unique in the AI governance market — rather than just providing compliance reports, Armilla backs its assessments with insurance warranty products. An enterprise deploying a third-party AI model can purchase an Armilla warranty that pays out if the model performs differently than assessed (fails on bias, accuracy, or robustness metrics), transferring AI performance risk to insurance markets that can price and distribute it. This insurance mechanism creates financial accountability for AI quality claims that audit reports alone don't provide.\n\nIn 2025, Armilla competes in the AI governance, risk, and compliance market with Credo AI, Arthur AI, and AI audit firms for enterprise AI risk assessment and compliance tools. The EU AI Act, fully applicable by August 2025 for high-risk AI systems, is driving enterprise compliance urgency — companies deploying AI in hiring, credit scoring, healthcare, and other regulated contexts need third-party conformity assessments. Armilla's insurance-backed warranty differentiates its offering from pure advisory competitors. The reinsurer backing (Swiss Re, Greenlight Re, Chaucer) provides both capital credibility and distribution through insurance broker channels. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing EU AI Act compliance assessments and expanding the warranty product coverage to more AI deployment use cases.
