Toronto, ON – January 22, 2018
GreenSky Capital Inc. is pleased to announce that its affiliated venture fund, the GreenSky Accelerator Fund II, has made a $400,000 lead investment as part of a seed round in ProNav Technologies Ltd. (“ProNavigator”). ProNavigator expects to raise up to an additional $350,000 in further financing from investors associated with the GreenSky President’s Club, an affiliated angel group.
ProNavigator has built an AI-powered chatbot specifically for the insurance industry. In today’s digital world, where most consumers are mobile and spend the bulk of their time in messaging apps, chatbots provide a self-service conversational interface that not only provide fast and accurate responses, but also provide an opportunity to drive sales and save on additional support costs.
ProNavigator’s current product helps insurance companies and insurance brokers capture, qualify and connect with leads in real-time. This platform replaces a live person at a fraction of the cost and can handle the majority of typical interactions to their conclusion. The funds raised will be used for business development and product expansion.
Joseph D’Souza, ProNavigator’s CEO, said: “We are thrilled to have added GreenSky to our investment group. Their experience building businesses in both technology and insurance will be of substantial value as we scale our company.”
Greg Stewart, Principal at GreenSky Capital added: “Joseph and his team have created a best-in-class technology and signed key accounts very early in the company’s life cycle. We believe this is an underappreciated market with explosive growth potential.”
