Digital insurance brokerage comparing and selling auto, motorcycle, health, and SOAT coverage from Colombian carriers.

Distribution & Sales Growth

Overview

Seguro Canguro is a digital auto, motorcycle, and health insurance brokerage serving individual consumers in Colombia. Founded in 2015 by Martin Alvemo and Piroz Hasanizadeh and headquartered in Bogota, the company lets customers request quotes across more than a dozen Colombian carriers and complete the entire purchase online, including e-signature, digital vehicle inspection, and installment financing without a credit check.

The platform started as an auto insurance comparison tool and has since expanded into motorcycle insurance, voluntary health and prepaid-medicine plans, and SOAT, Colombia's mandatory third-party auto liability coverage. As a broker, it earns a standard carrier commission on each policy placed rather than charging customers directly. Headcount estimates place the company in the 51-200 employee range, though the underlying figure comes from a single, unconfirmed aggregator source rather than a primary company disclosure.

Seguro Canguro operates a proprietary real-time quoting engine connected to more than a dozen auto and motorcycle insurers and ten or more health providers. The company has received sustained coverage from Colombian national media since 2018, including 2026 reporting that names AI-assisted quoting and rating as a stated company initiative and describes new vehicle-identification and rate codes being integrated directly into carrier systems.
