Jackson and Jamieson Fregeau are two brothers from Vancouver who built Quandri - an AI automation platform that creates a "digital workforce" for insurance brokerages and agencies. The company automates high-volume, repetitive insurance tasks (starting with renewals) that brokers currently do manually, saving thousands of hours per brokerage.

Founded in 2020, Quandri has raised $18.7M total including a $12M USD Series A (Jul 2025) led by Framework Venture Partners with strategic investment from Intact Ventures (Intact Financial Corporation - Canada's largest P&C insurer with $20B+ in premiums). The company plans to hire 40+ people, relocate to a 15,000 sq ft Vancouver HQ, and open a Boston office to serve US customers.

Jackson (CEO, business) and Jamieson (President, software developer) are a classic brother co-founder duo - "I guess you could say it's a family business." They started by building bots for repetitive insurance tasks and have evolved into an AI-first platform for the "extremely transaction-intensive" insurance industry.

$15K Workshop

Very High fit. At $18.7M (Series A $12M, Jul 2025) raised with 51-100 employees, Quandri sits in Jamie's sweet spot. This is a company at a growth inflection point where the founder's positioning and messaging are the bottleneck, not the product or team.

Why it works: Jackson is the decision-maker. The company is the right size for the $15K price point. The core challenge is a positioning and messaging problem - exactly what Jamie's Unstuck Growth Intensive is built for.

Risk: Jackson may feel media presence is already covered. Jamie needs to show the difference between niche trade press and mainstream founder visibility - and why the latter drives enterprise sales, recruiting, and future fundraising in ways trade press cannot.

What Makes Jackson Interesting

The angles that matter for Jamie's outreach
Decision-maker access (10/10) - He IS the CEO and Co-Founder. Direct decision-maker
Growth plateau / inflection signals (8/10) - Hiring 40+ people. Relocating to 15,000 sq ft HQ. Opening Boston office for US expansion. "Very strong signs of product-market fit in the US" (BetaKit). Classic inflection from Canadian market -> North American expansion
Venture-backed founder (7/10) - $18.7M total. $12M Series A. Intact Ventures (Canada's largest insurer) as strategic investor - like Clio investing in Definely, this is the industry giant validating the startup. Framework Venture Partners led. Solid but not tier-1 VC names

Pain Signals & Angles In

Signal 1US Market Expansion (Boston Office)
  • Opening a Boston office specifically to serve US customers. "Very strong signs of product-market fit in the US." A US-facing business podcast would accelerate brand awareness with US insurance brokerages. Canadian success doesn't automatically translate to US recognition.
Signal 2Scaling From 50 → 90+ Employees
  • Plans to hire 40+ people in H2 2025. Relocating to 15,000 sq ft office. This is a significant scaling challenge - recruiting, culture, management. Founder media visibility helps attract talent who want to join a mission-driven company they've heard of.
Signal 3Category Awareness Beyond Insurance Niche
  • Quandri is well-known in Canadian insurance circles but invisible to the broader tech/startup ecosystem. For talent, partnerships, and investor relationships, the company needs founder visibility beyond the insurance trade press.

Loom Video Audit Ideas

Jamie should pick ONE of these and record a 5-10 minute Loom. The goal: deliver so much free value that Jackson has to respond.

Loom 1 - Website Positioning Audit (RECOMMENDED)
Pull up https://quandri.io and walk through the homepage messaging. Show the gap between how Quandri describes itself (technical/feature language) and how customers would describe the value. Jamie's framework: "Who is this for? What problem does it solve? Is this the customer's language or the company's language?" Point out specific copy that could be stronger. End with: "These are simple changes you can make with what you already have."
This is Jamie's signature move. Specific, actionable, impossible to ignore because it is about Jackson's company.
Keep it conversational, not harsh. Show a good example for contrast. End with something actionable today.
Loom 2 - Founder Visibility Gap Analysis
Google "Jackson Fregeau" and "Quandri" side by side. Show what comes up - or doesn't. Compare to competitors or similar-stage founders who have strong media presence. The gap between Jackson's credentials/story quality and their actual online visibility is the hook. "Your story is worth 10x more coverage than you're getting."
Pure data, zero judgment. The Google results show the gap between where Jackson's story lives and where it should live.
Frame this as a strategic observation about channel diversification, not criticism.
Loom 3 - Customer vs. Company Language Gap
Find customer testimonials, G2 reviews, or case study quotes for Quandri. Show the mismatch between how Quandri talks about itself (features, technology) and how customers describe the value (outcomes, feelings, transformation). Jamie's insight: "Your customers are telling a better story than your homepage. That gap is costing you deals."
The language gap between company messaging and customer language is a universal insight that resonates with every founder.
Be specific - pull real quotes if possible. The more concrete the examples, the more likely Jackson takes a call.

Day 1: LinkedIn Connection

"Jackson - I work with venture-backed founders navigating post-raise growth. Brother co-founder duo from Vancouver. AI digital workforce for insurance. Backed by Intact Ventures (Canada's largest i Would love to connect."

Day 2-3: Record the Loom

Record the Website Positioning Audit (Loom 1 above). Keep it under 10 minutes. Be specific, be helpful, end with actionable advice. Do NOT send via LinkedIn - hold for email.

Day 3-4: Email with Loom

Subject: "Something I noticed about Quandri's positioning"

"Hi Jackson - I recorded a short video walking through something I noticed on https://quandri.io. It's not a pitch - it's a genuine observation about the gap between how Quandri describes itself and how your customers talk about you.

[Loom link]

If any of it resonates, I'd love 20 minutes to dig deeper. If not, no worries - hopefully the video is useful either way.

Jamie"

Day 7-10: Follow-Up

"Hi Jackson - one more thought. I looked at how your customers describe Quandri vs. how your homepage describes it. The language gap is fascinating - and I think it's the key to unlocking your next wave of growth. Happy to walk through it if you're curious."

Messaging That Might Work

Starting points Jamie should rewrite in his own voice. The specific details are what make them work.

The Direct LinkedIn DM

"Jackson - I work with venture-backed founders navigating post-raise growth positioning. I noticed Quandri has raised $18.7M and is at 51-100 employees - that is exactly the inflection point where founder positioning and messaging become the bottleneck, not the product.

I recorded a short analysis of Quandri's positioning that I think you will find useful - no pitch, just observations. Would you be open to a 20-minute strategic diagnostic? Worst case, you get a new perspective on your GTM."

Warm Email Subject Lines

Option A: "Something I noticed about Quandri's positioning"
Option B: "The gap between Quandri's story and its visibility"
Option C: "Jackson - a question most 51-100-person founders don't ask"
Option D: "Your fundraise story deserves a bigger audience"
Rule: Every subject line is about Jackson's business, not about Jamie.

Things to Avoid

Saying They're "Stuck"
They're growing. Use "what's next" framing, never "what's wrong."
Generic "Let's Hop on a Call"
Jackson gets dozens of these a day. Lead with value, not asks.
Probing Fundraising Details
Stick to published numbers. Don't ask about burn rate or runway.
Comparing to Competitors
Never position against their competitors. Focus on their story.
Being Salesy in the Loom
The Loom should feel like free consulting. If they learn something, the call books itself.
Mentioning Revenue Specifics
Unless publicly disclosed, don't reference ARR or revenue numbers.

Bottom Line

Jackson Fregeau is a Tier Zero VIP lead scoring 8.0/10. Brother co-founder duo from Vancouver. AI digital workforce for insurance. Backed by Intact Ventures (Canada's largest insurer). Planning 40+ hires, Boston expansion.

The positioning gap is the way in: Jamie's Unstuck Growth Intensive is built for exactly this kind of founder - someone with strong credentials and real traction but a gap between their story and their visibility. A personalized Loom audit, sent through multiple channels, will be impossible to ignore because it's about Jackson's business, not about Jamie.
