Tolga Tezel
Tolga Tezel is the founder and CEO of Canopy Connect, an insurance data infrastructure company that lets consumers securely share their insurance information with agents and businesses in seconds. A University of Waterloo electrical engineering graduate and former early engineer at Dropbox and Nova Credit, he prototyped Canopy Connect over a weekend after a dinner conversation with a friend's mother who ran an insurance agency. Since founding the company in February 2020, he has grown it to serve thousands of agencies and raised a $6.5M Series A, building what he describes as trusted, consumer-permissioned infrastructure for property and casualty insurance data.
Canopy Connect
Canopy Connect is a San Francisco-based insurtech that acts as the connective tissue between consumers, insurance carriers, and businesses. Often called "Plaid for insurance," its API and no-code tools let people securely share verified insurance details - auto, home, and commercial policies - in about 20 seconds by logging into their carrier. Insurance agencies, carriers, lenders, and other insurtechs use the platform to pull structured, real-time policy data instead of asking customers to type it all out or upload documents.
