## Overview

Quashed is a consumer-facing insurance comparison and management platform for the New Zealand market. The platform allows individuals to compare quotes across multiple insurance providers, upload existing policies, and track all their coverage from a centralized dashboard. The company holds a Financial Advice Provider (FAP) license (FSP755332), enabling it to provide regulated financial advice to consumers.

The platform delivers its comparison engine via a web-based SaaS interface powered by machine learning and AI. The core Market Scan tool processes thousands of policy documents to surface side-by-side comparisons that go beyond price to highlight coverage differences and gaps. An integrated policy management dashboard organizes uploaded policy documents, tracks renewal dates, and flags savings opportunities.

Founded in 2020 by Justin Lim (CEO), Wenbo Li (CTO), and Kenneth Ganzan, Quashed has grown to over 100,000 registered users as of February 2026. The company raised a pre-seed round of USD 600K in 2021 led by Icehouse Ventures, followed by a Series A of USD 1.1M in 2024 that included a strategic investment from Turners Automotive Group, which took a 13% equity stake. The platform has partnered with AIA New Zealand as its first digital distribution partner.
