June 2025
On June 24-25, at SnapHQ in Santa Monica, The Resiliency Company hosted 250+ people from a broad range of stakeholders including home builders, insurers, capital markets leaders, philanthropists, and local leaders.
Some of our favorite quotes from the event included:
“This group of people hasn’t been convened yet - we’ve just been going to meetings within our silos.”
“This event opened my eyes to all the work that has to be done that I haven’t considered. But it also makes me realize how many great people are working on solutions.”
“An event of this caliber of attendees and programming is very difficult to pull off. Well done.”
Meanwhile, check-out the Linkedin love that Resiliency Co has received since the event. We were also delighted to see Abby Ross interviewed on local LA news about the event (watch on desktop not mobile) as well as a news feature about rebuilding with resilience that featured Abby along with IBHS and Case Study Adapt.
We were also delighted to welcome Jonathan Dromgoole as the most recent member of our team! Jonathan joins The Resiliency Company as our new Delta Fund Strategic Partnerships & Operations lead and will be instrumental in leading fund and program design for our work in Los Angeles, to ensure widespread access to the necessary financial resources to rebuild to our highest resilience standards and help preserve insurability in the region.
The Resiliency Company’s 2025 objective has been to “create the gravitational pull to unite the ecosystem around investing in resiliency” and this event demonstrated how our organization can do this.
Meanwhile, we’ve had many recent learnings around the Delta Fund and The Resiliency Company’s role in helping to rebuild LA with resilience:
We’ve witnessed that homeowners face many rebuilding challenges but validated that the Delta Fund is needed.
Resiliency Co. is in the business of influencing decisions so that homes are built to a fire resilient standard. We need to operationalize how to intervene when those moments happen. To that end, financing the “resilience delta” is one of the critical barriers to making a resilient decision, so the Delta Fund is our primary answer.
Our largest sources of demand/referrals for the Delta Fund have been home builders, insurers, homeowner community groups, and architecture home design catalogues.

Best,
