Today we’re going to talk about fintech can provide transformation in established industries that benefits customers, companies, and others. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Demetrius Gray, Founder and CEO of Captain.

About Demetrius Gray

Demetrius Gray, a former Y-C Founder and third-generation entrepreneur, is the CEO and founder of Captain. After founding WeatherCheck, the only black-owned meteorology-focused tech company, Demetrius felt inspired to scale and meet the needs of more homeowners as many mid-Western states were hit by natural disasters. He noticed that customers were facing a more challenging time filing insurance claims – an insight that became the genesis for Captain,  a first-of-its-kind fintech platform.

Today, Demetrius runs both Captain and WeatherCheck, where he collects the meteorological data from weather phenomena like hail storms, causing upwards of $1B in damages annually. He then uses the collected data for Captain to help confirm policyholders' claim to damages.

His determination and leadership are guiding the company to scale nationwide, helping homeowners everywhere recover faster and easier after extreme weather strikes.
