WorldCover is a peer-to-peer investment platform providing farmers in developing countries with insurance against natural disasters. The company also helps investors who are seeking diversified returns that are not subject to financial system crashes, as well as those seeking direct social impact. To do this, they connect investors who seek uncorrelated investment returns and impact from their capital with a huge and growing need for natural disaster insurance in the developing world. WorldCover first launched its business model in Ghana but expects its model to expand across the entire developing world.
