Grounded in physics. Accelerated by AI.

IronGrid launches as an AI-based insurance company for hardware risk, starting with batteries and expanding to critical hardware like hydrogen production, smart devices, robotics, and HVAC. The platform uses physics-based modeling and live asset telemetry to forecast long-term performance and generate dynamic risk scores to underwrite policies end-to-end without intermediaries.
