What is PolicyMe?
Founded in 2018 by Andrew Ostro, Laura McKay, and Jeff McKay, PolicyMe emerged as a digital-first life insurance broker designed to simplify the consumer experience. The company initially addressed critical gaps in insurance distribution through its proprietary coverage calculator and price comparison tools. In 2021, PolicyMe pivoted to become a fully-underwritten digital term life insurance provider, partnering with established industry giants like Securian Canada. This strategic shift allowed the firm to control the end-to-end customer journey, from initial quote to policy issuance, effectively removing traditional friction points that have historically plagued the insurance industry. By integrating technology with deep domain expertise, PolicyMe has successfully positioned itself as a leader in the digital transformation of life insurance, catering to a demographic that demands transparency, speed, and accessibility.
