Company Description

Jumpstart provides a financial cushion - a jumpstart - after the shock of a natural disaster. We’ve introduced a new product category - called parametric insurance - that democratizes disaster insurance. Parametric means a lump-sum is paid out right away after a pre-defined event, i.e. a “parameter.”

Valuation

Security Description

A SAFE is an agreement between you—the investor—and the company in which the company promises to give you a future equity stake based on the amount you invested. It also involves some kind of a triggering event that must take place in order for you to get your future equity stake. Be careful as you may only get equity if a particular event is triggered.
