INSTANDA is an insurance software provider, based in London (England), that is challenging the status quo.

We work directly with carriers, managing general agents (MGAs), and brokers. Using leading-edge technologies, INSTANDA insurance software is entirely configurable from the ground up.

Founded in 2012, we spent several years designing and building our platform which is now being used globally by some of the worlds largest insurance companies. Amongst our many achievements, we were recently chosen by Microsoft UK as a disruptive technology that their ventures program sponsored. With just 20 employees in the company in January 2017, INSTANDA now has over 100 employees based in the US, the UK, Australia, and Canada. We continue to expand globally and look forward to hiring employees throughout North America to join our team.
