CloudAdvisors

Digital marketplace and benchmarking platform for Canadian group benefits advisors and employers

Distribution & Sales Growth Seed

Overview

CloudAdvisors is a group benefits marketplace and data analytics platform serving Canadian insurance advisors, benefit providers, and employers. The company operates as a three-sided digital marketplace that connects group benefits advisors with Canadian insurance providers and the employers they serve, replacing paper-based workflows and disconnected processes with a unified SaaS environment.

The platform combines an AI-powered benefits benchmarking engine with real-time quoting capabilities and a curated marketplace of benefit solutions. A proprietary scoring system evaluates and monitors employee benefit plans against an aggregated dataset of Canadian employers, recalculating plan ratings daily as new participants join or existing plans change. A real-time quoting tool allows advisors and employers to receive simultaneous quotes from multiple providers, eliminating the traditional multi-week quotation cycle.

Founded in 2015 and based in Vancouver, CloudAdvisors has grown to serve thousands of advisors and track more than 15,000 employer benefit plans. The company received seed funding from Victory Square Technologies, a Vancouver-based technology venture firm that holds a 15% equity stake. The platform lists 120+ Canadian benefit providers and over 500 benefit solutions.
