????90%的農作物歉收都是因為惡劣或意外的天氣狀況造成。隨著氣候變化愈加頻繁，越來越多的農業企業將面臨意外天氣變化帶來的風險。

????有鑒于此，WeatherBill使用一種算法計算該風險，并在線銷售針對意外天氣的保險。

????WeatherBill的拳頭產品名為全面天氣保險（Total Weather Insurance），這是針對美國農場主每個季度可能面臨的不利天氣狀況，推出的業界第一份四季天氣保險計劃。這樣一來，美國農業在政府提供補助的作物保險之外，又多了一份來自私營經濟領域的補充保險可供選擇。

????日前，谷歌投資（Google Ventures）對WeatherBill進行了投資。

????谷歌投資執行合伙人比爾?馬瑞斯在新聞發布會上表示：“谷歌投資的使命是發掘和投資好點子，而WeatherBill的愿景是幫助農場主們應對天氣變化，這與我們的使命完全契合。WeatherBill的兩位創始人——首席執行官戴維?弗里德博格和首席技術官斯拉吉?哈利奇都曾在谷歌任職，因此不難理解他們會想到將天氣變化這個大問題轉變為巨大的機遇。谷歌投資很高興能資助WeatherBill的團隊，后者在應對海量數據的挑戰，以創造出能夠保護全球性基礎產業——農業的產品。”

????WeatherBill目前的投資者還包括NEA、Index Ventures、Allen & Company、Atomico、First Round Capital和Code Advisors。

????Over 90% of crop loss is due to inclement or unexpected weather conditions. With climate change in full swing, more and more agricultural businesses are at risk for unpredictable weather conditions.

????WeatherBill uses an algorithm to calculate risk and sell insurance online against unpredictable weather.

????WeatherBill's flagship product, Total Weather Insurance (TWI) is a the first full-season weather protection program for U.S. farmers designed that addresses the adverse weather conditions they face every season. WeatherBill's TWI provides the U.S. agriculture industry with a private-sector supplement to government-subsidized crop insurance.

????Today Google (GOOG) Ventures is investing.

????"Google Ventures' mission is to identify and fund big ideas -- and WeatherBill's vision of helping farmers adapt to climate change aligns perfectly with that mission," said Bill Maris, managing partner of Google Ventures, in a press release (bel0w). "WeatherBill's founders, CEO, David Friedberg, and CTO, Siraj Khaliq, are ex-Googlers, so it's understandable that they are working on turning the big problem of climate change into a big opportunity. Google Ventures is excited to support the WeatherBill team as they take on big data challenges and create products to protect a foundational global industry: agriculture."

????Existing investors include NEA, Index Ventures, Allen & Company, Atomico, First Round Capital and Code Advisors.
