Neilson paid a total of C$5.5 million for QuoteWay’s business and offered its founders growth equity on undisclosed terms.

Stories he can tell.
No. 01
What AI took over in an advertising business, and what it didn’t
At Mueller, AI built on a decade of hard-won campaign knowledge does the creative, the copy and the analysis behind the ads. Every lead answers to real sales, so the firm sees quickly where AI earns its keep and where it falls short.
No. 02
Bootstrapped to a sale in a regulated industry
QuoteWay built brands from scratch that brought customers to carriers and lead buyers, with no outside money, and was acquired by Neilson Financial Services in 2025.
No. 03
Leaving the expected path
He left a life sciences program at McMaster University to build a life insurance agency, started generating his own leads, and saw that lead generation done properly scales further than the sales layer around it. That insight became QuoteWay.
