0:00.0	Another week and another episode and we're already into the second month of the year with February.
0:18.2	Well, where does all that time go?
0:20.4	Matthew Grant here,
0:21.3	partner at Instec. And welcome back. If you've joined us before, it's really good to know we're doing
0:25.7	something right if you're coming back for more. And of course, if this is your first time,
0:29.7	then I am delighted you found us wherever you are or whatever you listen to. Now, one of the
0:36.3	frustrations of hosting a podcast is that there is no
0:39.4	way of telling who the audience is, that's you, other than those of you who are kind enough to tell us.
0:44.8	But Simon, who runs our marketing, has been digging around and discovered that although we don't

1:19.6	insuretech companies as well as other areas. And as you come to expect from us, we fit a lot
1:24.7	into this episode. Topics we cover include what the performance of
1:28.8	companies that have gone through an IPO or SPAC means for investment appetite for insure tech
1:34.8	generally. We're also going to look at what types of organisations are attracting the eyes of investors
1:39.3	today and how does that compare to what people were looking at five years ago. Regulation, I discover, can be exciting, and we have a crack at tackling this problem of diversity
1:50.2	to see what can be done to bring more diversity by age, gender, experience and geography
1:55.5	into startups and investors themselves.
