# About Tilt
Tilt exists to make insurance make sense.
Insurance has always had the same problem: long forms, confusing language, slow processes, repetitive questions, and very little clarity. People buy cover without knowing if it’s the right cover - and usually only find the gaps when something goes wrong.
Tilt was created to fix that.
Not by reinventing insurance, but by using what already exists - data, modern tech, and properly connected systems - and bringing them together in a smarter, more intuitive way.
Tilt is a new digital insurance business backed by Howden.
It is built to feel fast, simple, and transparent for customers who value ease over complexity and speed over friction.

# Purpose & Philosophy
Tilt’s purpose is straightforward:
Make insurance make sense across every part of work and life, all in one place.
Tilt reduces the cognitive load of buying insurance by:
- Removing unnecessary jargon and complexity.
- Using data to shorten forms and remove friction.
- Helping customers with context - not hard sells.
- Providing clear, plain-English cover explanations.
- Making it easy to buy and manage multiple policies through a single app.

# Brand Pillars
1. Fast
   Everything happens in minutes, not hours. Minimal questions. Smart data use. Quick decisions.
2. Simple
   Clear language, clean design, intuitive flows. Every step should feel obvious.
3. Clear
   Customers always know what something means, why it matters, and what they’re covered for.
4. Transparent
   No gimmicks, hidden limitations, or deliberately confusing upsells.
5. All in one place
   One account, multiple products, all managed inside the Tilt app.

# Why It’s Called “Tilt”
Tilt represents a shift - a small angle change that makes a big difference.
It symbolises tilting insurance away from complexity and towards clarity, speed, and ease.
It also represents motion, momentum, and forward progress.
A signal that insurance should feel modern, connected, and intuitive - not outdated or slow.

# What Tilt Does Differently
Tilt takes the elements that already exist in insurance - data, open APIs, pricing engines, cloud infrastructure, AI - and stitches them together into a seamless experience.
Key differences:
- Working towards shorter question sets powered by enrichment from sources like Companies House, LexisNexis, and DVLA.
- A unified, multi-product setup that lets customers buy and manage all their policies in one place.
- Guidance built in at every step to explain what things mean and why they matter.
- Self-service app for everything post-purchase with real-human support if needed.
- Real-time pricing from insurer partners with zero manual back-and-forth.
