In 2021, venture capital firm Luge Capital produced a list of Canada’s top insurance technology (insurtech) start-ups. Within the list was Foxquilt, ranked 10th on the list with total funding of $4.7 million. That number was quickly updated when in the same year, Foxquilt raised $8 million in Series A funding – a round incidentally led by Luge Capital.
Foxquilt utilizes social groups to help people save on home, auto, and business insurance policies of all types. The company’s technology helps group people into communities, which then allows them to purchase insurance online while leveraging the group’s purchasing power.
Not one to rest on its laurels, Foxquilt made news earlier this year when it launched a new eCommerce insurance product. The product is an all-online solution designed to allow e-commerce business owners to quickly access insurance and fulfil compliance requirements, designed to meet the evolving needs of modern business owners – digital business owners who rose to prominence and out of necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic. It later launched a broker distribution strategy for its eCommerce product just months after the insurance made its debut.
"Innovating insurance solutions for our small business customers has always been the epitome of our business at Foxquilt," said Foxquilt co-founder and CEO Mark Morisette. "That's why we're proud to introduce this new product offering to ensure that eCommerce business owners can secure insurance online and on-demand while protecting them from exposures where they trade."
It comes as no surprise that Foxquilt was nominated and recognized as one of Insurance Business’ 5-Star Insurance Technology Providers for 2022. Not only has the company grown immensely over the past two years, but it has been highly recommended by insurance brokers. All this becomes even more impressive when you learn that Foxquilt is a company that serves both Canadian and US clients.
While we may not know Foxquilt’s immediate plans, one thing is certain: Luge Capital’s assessment of the insurtech as “one to watch” is not misplaced.
