In 2019, Berkshire Hathaway announced the launch of its comprehensive insurance product for small business, THREE.

In August 2022 Berkshire Hathaway announced it was expanding its current partnership with Zesty.AI to deploy its wildfire risk model, Z-Fire. The partnership extension comes as Zesty.ai's model has allegedly outperformed BH's own wildfire risk model.
