Q . IS THERE A PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT FROM THE PAST 12 MONTHS OF WHICH YOU ARE PARTICULARLY PROUD ?
» Personally , successfully making a transition from the pandemic , seeing all the kids move on and then successfully setting up a new home on the coast with my soul mate of over 30 years , Melanie .
Business-wise , as I led it , the latest fundraise of $ 45mn has put us into another league entirely at multiple levels , so I am very proud of what we had to offer with our investor partners , including Toscafund .
Q . DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN THREE WORDS

Q . WHAT INSPIRES YOU IN INSURTECH TODAY ?
» Seeing how insurtech companies are maturing and offering a genuine , compelling way forward for the industry .
Q . WHAT ’ S NEXT FOR TIM HARDCASTLE ?
» Business-wise , I ’ m ready to see INSTANDA take off and reach the next level in our growth trajectory as a tech company . We will justifiably claim to be the world ’ s most advanced digital platform by next year , and I can ’ t tell you how pumped I am that it ’ s within sight .
Personally , I can ’ t wait to realise one of my lifelong dreams : I ’ ll be going racing with the Caterham series , which runs over several circuits in the UK in 2024 , so there is plenty of prep needed next year .
