Overview

APOLLO Insurance Solutions is one of Canada's leading digital managing general agents (MGAs), founded in 2017 by Jeff McCann, David Dyck, Justin Hamade, and Drew Green. The company provides online personal and commercial insurance products that let customers obtain a quote in under one minute and bind coverage in under two minutes -- entirely without human intervention. APOLLO's AI-driven underwriting platform automates risk assessment, pricing, and policy issuance, delivering policy documents to customers instantly upon purchase.

APOLLO operates two primary channels: a direct-to-consumer digital storefront for individuals and small businesses, and The Exchange, Canada's largest online insurance marketplace for brokers. The Exchange gives 9,000+ registered Canadian brokers instant access to quote and bind across 16+ product categories through a free portal with no volume commitments. As of 2026, APOLLO has issued policies to over 500,000 Canadians, issued over 1,000,000 quotes, paid CAD $14M in claims, and earned a 4.7-star customer rating from over 3,700 reviews.

In 2022, Definity Financial Corporation made a strategic minority equity investment in APOLLO (Series B), and the two companies co-developed a digital Trades and Contractors product. In May 2024, APOLLO raised CAD $18.5M in debt financing to launch FinShore, a wholly owned buy-now-pay-later subsidiary enabling monthly premium payment flexibility for APOLLO's policyholders and broker partners. APOLLO ranked 212th on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 in November 2025, reflecting 379% growth.
