Co-Founder & CPO, New Venture: Insurance Distribution & Data Platform

Summary We are launching an end-to-end insurance technology solution that empowers wealth management firms to drive insurance sales and streamline their insurance operations across North America. We are looking for an entrepreneurial and highly motivated Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer to bring the venture to success. Please note: This is not an employee opportunity at Diagram Ventures, but in a new company created through our venture studio model. This company will be independent of Diagram Ventures, and the founding team will receive the majority of the equity in the venture. The Opportunity Investment dealers in North America represent the most important distribution and servicing channel for life insurance in Canada, yet financial advisors penetrate less than 15% of their wealth clients today. Pain points in advisor sales enablement and complex/expensive internal operations create large headwinds for wealth firms looking to scale their insurance portfolios. We believe there is an opportunity to build an end-to-end insurance distribution platform that is purpose-built for the wealth management industry, enabling financial advisors to sell more policies and unlocking value for investment dealers. The solution would focus on enabling embedded life insurance for wealth management channels in Canada, ultimately expanding across new product lines (ie. P&C) and adjacent financial service segments. This venture has been significantly de-risked, with product-market fit verified and a solid commercial pipeline. The CPO should be able to create a positive culture, attract talent, attract enterprise clients in the financial services space and fundraise from reputable VC funds.
