Founder story

Built by a climber who lost a partner.

Philip Setter is a Canadian entrepreneur and climber who spent the better part of a decade in the insurance industry, working with everyone from growing families to shareholders of large Canadian companies.

In 2020, Philip lost a close friend and climbing partner in an accident. He saw firsthand what the family went through, and what it's like when coverage quietly excludes the thing you love doing. Affinity Life was built for everyone who has someone they care about, including the climbers, skiers and pilots most insurers turn away.

"It will never bring back our loved ones, but it can let our families grieve with one less overwhelming stress."
