ResiQuant
ResiQuant is a San Francisco insurtech that fuses structural-engineering expertise with AI to help property insurance carriers and MGAs underwrite catastrophe-exposed buildings with engineering-grade confidence and no backlog. Founded in 2023 by two Stanford-trained structural engineers, its platform deploys modular AI agents that read inspection photos, aerial imagery and public visuals to spot building-level vulnerabilities that traditional data misses - across earthquake, wildfire, windstorm and flood risk covering 99% of the US.

Omar Issa is the co-founder and CEO of ResiQuant, a San Francisco startup that uses structural engineering AI to read a building's hidden vulnerabilities and rebuild how property insurers underwrite catastrophe risk. A second-generation structural engineer raised in the Bay Area, he earned a PhD at Stanford's John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering Center, specializing in machine learning for disaster recovery. After walking through the rubble of earthquakes from Ridgecrest to Turkey and the wreckage of Hurricane Ian, he and co-founder Francisco Galvis built ResiQuant to give underwriters the engineering-grade data they were missing, raising $4M in seed funding led by LDV Capital in 2025.
