Company mission

To be the most customer-centric insurance business in the world.

Our take

Online policy marketplace Apollo Insurance is one of the many businesses looking to disrupt the insurance sector. The company offers thousands of policies on the Apollo Exchange, part of a digital-first approach which swaps out paper filing for algorithms that automatically quote, bind, and issue policies to customers. This substantially frees up time for the +6,000 brokers who use the platform, and delivers a superior service for shoppers in need of quick coverage.

It’s a good time to be offering highly flexible, efficient, and accessible insurance policies - particularly given Apollo’s focus on small businesses. The last few years have exposed substantial gaps in insurance coverage for this sector, leading more SMB owners to shop around.

Plenty are dipping their toes into alternative policy sources outside of traditional agencies, like digital marketplaces, and whilst Apollo has already won a strong position in the market. In addition to its commercial insurances options, Apollo has also expanded its personal insurance offerings ranging from tenant, condo, and landlord insurance (and more).
