CEO & Founder Abby Ross speaking at The Adaptation Forum, hosted as part of Climate Week NYC on September 22
This September, The Resiliency Company celebrated 1 year from our official launch which was at an intimate dinner with ~40 people at New York Climate week.
What a difference a year makes. This year, we…

Co-hosted a workshop with JLL with 55 partnering organizations for feedback on our Climate Risk Playbook for Commercial Real Estate (launching November)

A note of gratitude for the truly awesome team, advisors, and supporters that helped us build this credibility and momentum on our 2025 goal: become a gravitational pull to unite capital allocators around resiliency.
As part of how we create conditions for success to mobilize capital into resilient infrastructure, we have:
Partnering with builders/architects in LA to influence resilient home designs, which represents ~50% of the upcoming rebuilding housing stock.
Working with Home Depot and IBHS on a Resilient Home Building Materials “Look Book”
Building PILLAR, a resilient home building lending & education platform, likely leading to a spinout and raising outside capital to support the growth.
Developing an underwriting standard to the IBHS Wildfire Prepared standard for financial institutions to adopt as a critical step for resilient home loan origination.
Soft-launched Resilient America, which helps municipal leaders finance resilient public infrastructure. This is in collaboration with Rockefeller Advisors, garnering feedback from potential funders, partners, and state/local governments.
I recognize this all sounds like A LOT - well because it is and has been. It remains a massively ambitious and important mission that we need to demonstrate clear wins against. Part of the next quarter will be getting organized about our programs and storytelling for how these all fit together.
As always, reach out with ideas/concerns/questions.
Best,
Abby
