At InsTech, we love featuring founders who took matters into their own hands to solve the problems they encountered. This episode shines a spotlight on one such entrepreneur who did just that.

In the insurance industry, manually cleaning data remains a costly and time-consuming challenge. To explore this issue, Matthew Grant sits down with Nicola Turner, CEO and Co-founder of Scrub AI. Scrub AI is a platform that automates repetitive data cleaning tasks—a solution born from Nicola's own experience as an underwriter struggling with inefficient processes.

Key talking points include:

• Nicola’s journey from underwriter to ‘accidental’ entrepreneur
• How identifying a persistent problem led to a solution
• The challenges and successes of raising funding for a tech start-up
• Why data management remains such a significant issue in the insurance sector
• The role of AI, machine learning, and technology in transforming data processes
• Insights on working with co-founders and finding the right partners
• Balancing the demands of start-up life with personal well-being
