Insight Capital Partners

What Insight Capital Partners does

Insight Capital Partners is a Toronto-based capital markets consulting firm founded in 2017 that serves small and mid-cap public companies listed primarily on Canadian exchanges. The firm is built around two service pillars: Power Reporting, a proprietary automated analytics platform that surfaces anonymous trading activity, account types, and shareholder position sizes; and Consulting Services, which delivers real-time trading commentary, monthly management/board reports, and strategic guidance for bridging catalyst events to capital raises. The third revenue arm is delivered through wholly-owned subsidiary ICP Securities Inc., a CIRO-registered dealer that runs the ICP Premium algorithmic market-making platform — a microsecond-latency quoting system that defends against toxic order flow, accesses dark pools, and maintains continuous liquidity in client stocks.

The business model blends professional services fees (consulting), recurring subscription-like revenue (Power Reporting), and managed transaction-linked services (market-making via ICP Securities Inc.). Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supported by content marketing through a blog and case studies, with all named clients — Avanti Helium, EMP Metals, Decibel Cannabis, Tower Resources, DeepMarkit — being TSX/TSX-V-listed small and mid-cap issuers. The team consists of two partners (Ian Clark, CFA; David Campbell, CFA, MBA), CFO Greg Davies (CPA, CA, former IIROC Ontario District Council Chair), Senior Capital Markets Professional Tomas Seto (ex-Canaccord Genuity, Salman Partners, Scotia Capital), and additional supporting staff, with combined industry experience stated at 80+ years.

The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding or institutional investors. Geographic footprint is concentrated in Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta, though the December 2025 DeepMarkit engagement signals a first cross-border push into European investor awareness. Revenue figures, pricing, and detailed financials are not publicly disclosed. The firm holds registered brand identities for ICP Premium and Power Reporting and operates affiliated regulated dealer infrastructure through ICP Securities Inc.
