INSTANDA the leading no-code insurance platform, today announced it has finalised a $20 million investment round. The funding was led by CommerzVentures the Frankfurt-based fintech and Insurtech specialist VC, alongside additional backing from existing investors Toscafund, Dale Ventures and company advisor Bronek Masojada. This latest update brings INSTANDA’s total funding to date to over $85 million.
Market opportunity
As insurers seek to modernise legacy infrastructure, INSTANDA is positioned at the intersection of three key trends: the shift to leverage data insights in real time, the adoption of AI in underwriting and claims, and the demand for agile technology that is easily controlled.
INSTANDA is the only no-code platform built for the insurance industry that allows insurers and Managing General Agents (MGAs) to manage complex products across personal and commercial lines without engineering overhead. By speeding up personalisation it shortens time to market, lowers risk for new propositions, and enables faster adaptation to regulatory or pricing shifts.
Impressive momentum
Since the company’s last funding round INSTANDA has seen growth of over 40% CAGR, reached profitability and secured partnerships with global System Integrators (SI’s) as well as Insurtechs such as Coherent, all of which help insurers accelerate away from legacy constraints and deliver market differentiating customer propositions.
Working with over 80 tier 1 and MGA clients the INSTANDA platform has established a track record of the lowest cost, feature rich, most flexible technology in the US and UK markets.
Growth plans
With increasing demand from commercial lines and life and health insurers, the company expects to see continued rapid growth. The funding will be used to:
- Accelerate INSTANDA’s international expansion, particularly across North America and Europe
- Advance the platform’s data science driven capabilities to address insurers’ evolving needs, to streamline and enrich underwriting processes while delivering hyper-personalized customer experiences
- Support strategic acquisitions to broaden capabilities and client offerings.
