Who we are
At Quandri, our mission is to unlock the world’s insurance data so brokerages and agencies can deliver the best possible service to their clients. Our Renewal Intelligence Platform is designed to help agencies save time, increase profitability, and drive better outcomes for their staff, clients, and business.
What we do
Running a profitable personal lines book of business is harder than ever for insurance brokerages and agencies. Rising costs, market shifts, and staffing challenges make it tough to scale while delivering exceptional client service. Trusted by 100+ insurance agencies across North America, Quandri is transforming the policy renewal process with AI-driven automation, delivering data-driven insights, and enabling proactive workflows. Because of the high volume, high velocity nature of personal lines, today’s renewal process is often reactive, with brokers and agents focusing on clients who request help rather than adopting a proactive, data-driven approach. Quandri changes that. Our platform automates routine tasks, highlights at-risk accounts, and arms advisors with timely, data-driven recommendations. The result? Higher retention, more upsell and cross-sell opportunities, reduced E&O risk, and a better experience for both staff and clients.
Why join us?
At Quandri, you’ll make a real impact alongside a team that’s as innovative and diverse as the industry we serve. Our culture is built around curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. We’re a hybrid company with ¾ of our team in Vancouver and the rest distributed. Our Vancouver office is in Olympic Village, where we collaborate in person three days a week. We believe in flexibility, and we also know that great ideas come from working together.
We’re backed by leading US and Canadian investors and are scaling quickly. We saw 3x ARR growth last year and plan to continue growing both revenue and our team. Named one of LinkedIn’s Top Canadian Startups in 2024 & 2025, we’ve already made a meaningful impact on the insurance industry. We’ve also been named to Deloitte’s Fast 50, highlighted on CB Insights’ Insurtech 50 and Fintech 100 lists, and featured amongst the Globe and Mail’s Top Growing Companies in Canada.
Now, we want you to be part of our journey.

Bonus points if you have:
Our guiding principles:
- Customers at the core. We put the customer at the centre of all we do. At a basic level, we believe business success comes down to talking to customers and building something they want. We don’t listen to customers and just take what they say blindly, but we think critically about it and build what they need. Customers are the core of everything we do, and our business exists to serve them. We prioritize their needs over all else within the company.
- Move with urgency. Organizations tend to slow down as they become larger. Small startups have the advantage of speed. We require urgency in all things - from sending an email to code changes - this enables us to stay agile and maintain our startup edge.
- Be curious. We understand the world by being curious and asking why. We aren’t satisfied with surface level understanding, and seek a deeper understanding of why things are the way they are. Don’t take someone’s word for it or the answer “because that’s how we do it.” Understand why and dig deep.
- Excellence in execution. We know that what separates good from great is a high level of execution. We commit ourselves to excellence in everything that we do, from delivering an amazing product to writing a great email.
- Act like an owner. We’re all owners of the business and act like it. We follow through on commitments, own our results and think long-term.
- Fight for simplicity. Systems evolve to become more complex over time. We know there is sophistication in simplicity; as such, we intentionally fight for streamlined solutions and are committed to the uncomplicated.
