Winston Fisher shared his idea with the room, not knowing the answer was just a few feet away.
It was the first day of the Abundance Summit, and the energy in the room was electric. As an opening exercise, renowned executive coach Keith Ferrazzi asked each person to stand and share, in 60 seconds, what had brought them there.
Winston Fisher was called on first. A partner at Fisher Brothers and the CEO of AREA15, Winston had spent years thinking about a problem far from the Las Vegas immersive district he's known for: the way climate volatility is quietly breaking the financial systems beneath us, as insurers retreat and once-safe markets become impossible to price. He described the idea he'd been circling.
Then he ended with an open invitation: I could use some help with this. Does anyone here understand insurance and risk and want to talk about it?
A few feet away, Bradley Hamburger looked down at his notes. Bradley is Senior Vice President at Foa & Son, an Alera Company, and a risk-management expert who has founded three companies spanning AI, climate analytics, and beyond. And the idea Winston was describing was one Bradley had been building toward himself: what he calls the Climate Risk Identifier, an AI-powered engine to help anyone holding real estate see the climate risk in their assets.
The overlap was uncanny. At lunch that day, Bradley walked over, introduced himself, and the two began a conversation that would grow into a shared venture, an effort to turn real-time climate data into an early-warning system for the risks hiding in plain sight across the financial world.
Neither of them planned it. Winston hadn't come to A360 looking for a co-founder in the audience. Bradley hadn't expected to hear his own unspoken idea described from the front of the room. But that's the thing about putting hundreds of builders who see the world the same way in one place: the conversation that changes everything stops being about luck and starts being inevitable.
There's a fitting symmetry to it. Bradley's stated purpose is "to empower and connect innovators and entrepreneurs so that they can realize exponential growth." He found his own connection in a room full of them.
Both are Patron-level Members of A360, longtime builders and investors working at the intersection of infrastructure, innovation, and risk. What they're building is still early. But the partnership behind it started the way the best ones often do here: two people, one room, and an idea that turned out to be shared.
