Top Insurance Startups in 2027

HelixIntel is on a mission to help insurers move from paying for losses to predicting and preventing them. HelixPrevent turns real maintenance activity into risk intelligence carriers can underwrite against, giving insurance partners visibility into equipment condition, maintenance discipline, and emerging failure risk across their books, long before a claim is filed. That intelligence is powered by HelixCMMS, the maintenance platform their insureds use every day to stay organized and proactive.

We meet our clients where they are in their AI journey, define their true north star of value, and chart a strategic path forward through our platform—empowering them to modernize operations, optimize efficiencies, and unlock millions in cost savings.

We started IcePanel because existing tools for software architecture suck. They’re slow, overcomplicated, and built for managers to enforce process, not for engineers to actually enjoy using. At our previous jobs, we spent too much time in meetings talking about architecture and not enough time actually building. Diagrams got stale, decisions got lost, and nothing felt connected to reality. So we started building something better. It began as a side project, let us snowboard most days in Whistler for a season, and people kept using it…We got to nearly $1M USD with just the founders before we hired. Today we’re a small, profitable team ($4.5M+ CAD ARR) building a collaborative modelling tool for software architecture. We care about staying lean, shipping fast, having fun, and building something people actually love.
