Overview

Goose is an insurtech that offers a consumer-focused insurance super app providing travel, life, cancer, and other personal insurance products in Canada and the United States. Its mobile app lets members buy more than 19 different policies across 30 U.S. states and 8 Canadian provinces within minutes. The company has expanded carrier relationships with partners including AIG, IMG, iA Financial Group, TeachersLife, and American Amicable, and was recently appointed a coverholder for Lloyd’s of London. Goose has experienced rapid adoption, doubling its membership base and premiums over the past year. The company plans to use new capital to accelerate adoption in Canada and the U.S. through education and awareness initiatives. Leadership is headed by President and CEO Dejan Mirkovic; Goose was founded in 2018 and is based in Vancouver, Canada. Goose is a mobile-first travel medical insurance provider that launched across Canada in August 2018 and offers instant access to travel medical insurance via iOS and Android apps. Users can purchase coverage in under 60 seconds for as little as $4 per day, with policies that provide up to $10 million in travel medical insurance and can be bought up to seven days after a vacation has begun. The app includes hospital locators, 911-equivalents, instant agent chat, and a reminder "honk" when it detects the user is near an international airport or the U.S. border. Goose was founded in 2017 and is based in Vancouver, British Columbia; it currently serves British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario and is licensed by provincial insurance councils. The company raised a $2.25 million seed round led by Impression Ventures to support its Canadian rollout. Goose cites research finding about 50% of Canadians travel uninsured and positions its low-cost, on-demand product to increase insurance take-up.
