Founder Spotlight:
Jeff and Christy Barsalou of QuickFacts
Helping brokers stop wasting time — one comparison at a time
When Jeff and Christy co-founded QuickFacts, they weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel — they just wanted to help brokers move faster.
“Insurance carriers are constantly updating their underwriting appetite, but that information is locked away in portals or scattered across documents. Brokers waste time hunting it down — then waste even more comparing it manually,” Jeff explains.
QuickFacts is changing that.
The platform pulls together carrier underwriting guidelines, product forms, and appetite statements into a centralized, AI-powered comparison engine. Instead of searching dozens of sites or emailing underwriters, brokers get answers in seconds — across both personal and commercial lines.
And it’s not just about saving time. It’s about winning business.
🧩 From Fragmentation to Focus
In an era where speed and service define brokerage growth, QuickFacts offers something uniquely valuable: real-time clarity.
Unlike traditional quoting tools, QuickFacts is not a marketplace. It’s a pre-quote appetite intelligence layer — letting producers instantly see which carriers are a fit before they waste time quoting the wrong market.
“We work directly with carriers to structure their appetite data into a searchable format,”
says Jeff.
“Brokers don’t just get access — they get insight.”
📈 Real Traction, Real Momentum
QuickFacts is growing fast — 2–3x year over year — and recently signed its largest Canadian brokerage client to date.
They’ve just launched their long-awaited Commercial Lines product, unlocking a new market segment where appetite complexity and manual processes have historically slowed producers down.
Their next strategic milestone: expanding into the U.S., bringing their appetite comparison engine to a broader network of brokerages and carrier partners.
💡 Built for Brokers, Backed by the Ecosystem
QuickFacts was built by insurance veterans who know the brokerage grind firsthand. But it hasn’t scaled alone.
As part of the InsurTech Fund and InsurTech NY network, Jeff and the team tapped into a powerful support system of carriers, brokers, and investors.
“The Fund played a key role in making strategic introductions,”
says Jeff.
They opened doors we couldn’t have opened ourselves — and helped validate the US product-market fit”
🔍 What’s Next?
QuickFacts is actively onboarding pilot partners in the U.S. and seeking distribution-focused investors who believe in next-gen tools for the modern brokerage.
