Pascal Metrics

Stand
Stand is a San Francisco insurtech that uses physics-based simulation and AI to underwrite and insure homes in places most carriers have abandoned - the wildfire belt of California and the hurricane corridors of Florida. Instead of statistical averages, Stand builds a digital twin of each property and models how embers, wind, and water would actually attack it, pairing coverage with concrete mitigation upgrades.
Charlie Olson
Charlie Olson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Pando, a San Francisco-based fintech platform that lets high-potential professionals — founders, athletes, and ambitious earners — pool their career income risk. Launched in 2017 after Charlie and co-founder Eric Lax graduated from Stanford GSB, Pando has grown to serve 900+ clients in pools expected to collectively earn over $11 billion. The company has raised $13.8M total funding including an $8M Series A led by Core Innovation Capital in 2020. Charlie was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2019 and previously worked in private equity and policy. Pando's model — participants contribute 1-8% of earnings above a ~$1M hurdle rate to a shared pool — draws on ideas from income-sharing agreements and mutual insurance, reimagined for the winner-take-all talent economy.
